3 (in 100 level courses) or 4 (in 200 level courses) peer- reviewed, empirical articles required. Read & analyze the articles using the article analysis template (attached). The analysis will be a short, 12-15 sentence paragraph that is placed below the reference (see example). You must attach the first page of each article that includes the abstract. Verify with your instructor how many articles (he/she may require fewer).
Summary: A stand alone paper, 1 to 2 pages typed, double-spaced in APA format that answers your research question using the results from your articles. What can be concluded from the research? What problems did you see with the studies you read? What future research should be done to further answer the research question? Do not plagiarize! You must use your own words (reword article findings) when summarizing your answer. Do not use your opinion. Cite the articles correctly (see example).
**WARNING!!!! Do NOT quote! Reword and CITE authors appropriately!
