Journal Article Review• To enhance your understanding of topics within Parts II and III of the

text, to expand your research abilities, and to allow you to pursue additional related topics of personal interest, you will read a research article from a professional journal that relates to the Part of the text we are studying. Write a summary of the article, including a brief description of the research and the author(s)’ conclusions. Explain how the research may or may not contribute to your profession, and give reasons why you believe you will or will not use this research in your profession. Articles must be current (written in or after 2000). Non-professional internet sources are not acceptable; papers with inappropriate sources will be revisited so check with your instructor if you have questions of approval. Papers are to be at least two full pages in length (References are not counted as a page but should be on a separate page), typed (12 pt Courier or Times New Roman font), double-spaced (ds), and in the APA format that will be handed out in class. Hand in a hard copy of your paper and the printed article at the beginning of class (papers not handed in at that time are considered late). Post your paper in the Student Share Folder Journal Review (must have the entire paper on ONE file). Label your file with your last name and the title of your paper. You will not receive your graded hard copy until AFTER you have posted your paper in the SSF. Papers will be returned (and lose points) if not spell-checked or with more than two grammatical errors per page.
