Source Analysis Instructions

The process of analyzing various sources enables you to exercise critical thinking and to effectively synthesize information. For this assignment, you will identify five Student Support or Retention based articles (formal or informal) that discuss elements of diversity, inclusion or the campus environment from sources within the categories provided in the table below. Please note that the article must originate from an organization within each category, not reference each category (i.e. a retention article published by a corporation, not an article about corporate retention).  For each source, you will analyze each required aspect in depth as you complete the table. Your analysis must be written in your own words, with citations properly formatted in APA format. There is no length requirement; however a strong analysis will include several paragraphs in applicable fields. Please note that title, abstract and reference pages are not required; however appropriate APA citations are required for all sourced information used within the table.
