The steps for completing LIBRARY assignment

1.Choose a PRIMARY research article after we have had our LIBRARY/APA Orientation. You may utilize access to the LIBRARY from home. The directions for how to access from home will be covered during the in-class orientation.

2. Make sure that the article is a PRIMARY SOURCE. These are found in an academic journal ONLY. The author(s) must be the researcher(s) reporting on a specific study and its results. A Primary Source would include the following: a review of the literature, a description of methodology including the sample selection process, a description of the statistical analysis, a discussion on the results.

Your Primary source article cannot be
older than 10 years
, and must be

   IN YOUR OWN WORDS
   the content of the article in 3-4 paragraphs. The summary should include a synopsis of the study’s intent (rationale) and hypothesis, the research methodology, including information about the sample and assessments, ending with the conclusions of the researcher(s). This summary should
