Each report must be two pages, double-spaced.
Students must turn in a photocopy of the first page of the article along with
the summary.
The summary must be in the student’s own words, indicating an understanding of
the study. If the summary or major parts of it are lifted word for word out of
the article, students will not receive credit.
The summary should answer these questions:
What was the major research question being asked?
Why is this question worth answering
Briefly, what sort of methods did they use?
What conclusions did they draw from the study?
Many articles in these journals include more than one study; students only need
to summarize one study from each article if they choose multi-study articles.
