Article Review
Objective Article reviews are purposed to help you learn how to research scholarly information, write in the APA style, and broaden your knowledge base of course subjects that help you succeed in the business world.
Project Criteria There are two (2) Article Review assignments. Scoring depends on linking the subject to course concepts, life-examples, completeness of assignment, professionalism, and grammar. You must post a copy of your scholarly article (not just the link) in the same drop box as your written article review. Your articles may not come from a generalized Google search, magazine, trade journals, newspaper articles, or blog source. You must use either the Sullivan Library online resources or Google Scholar to research academic or scholarly peer reviewed articles.
If the article does not have a list of resources at the end of the article, then it likely is not peer reviewed or from a professional journal. If you have questions about whether your resources meet the requirments, please ask before you submit your article review. If you need research help, please contact the library. Failure to use a peer-reviewed journal article results in a zero. If you have found a resource you would like to use and are unsure if it qualifies, please ask before posting your submission. If you need research help, view these library tutorials or contact the library. Papers are checked for plagiarism, so please make sure it is your own work.
Process Synthesize the research material and link it to the course content using the following guidelines.
•Summarize the article (don't just copy it into your paper, but put in your own words).
•Offer your insights into the article. This should include new learnings, what you agree or disagree with and "ah-ha" moments, etc.
•The best article reviews also tie the article to the materials we have learned in class. Focus equal attention on each of the two sections (summary and insights).
•Discuss the relevancy of your new material to the course material and conflict coaching methodologies.
This is to be a three-to-five page, double-spaced paper (750 - 1250 words). I am looking for substance and linkage to the course concepts, not personal opinion or filler rhetoric. Do not merely provide a series of direct quotes...synthesize the material using your own words so other students can gain from your work. Be explicit enough that I can tell you have mastered the concept or material in the article you reviewed.
