Assignment

Please allow time for locating quality resources. (For example, Wikipedia and blogs should not be listed as peer-reviewed or scholarly references in this course.)

Please work to find a peer-reviewed article that was written within the past two years. The article should be cited and referenced in APA format. Please locate and use an updated APA manual in order to be most successful in this course.

Begin by selecting an article that has an author, publication date, and is a credible reference pertaining to research. State the title of the article, the author, and the publication date in the first or second sentence of the first introductory paragraph. This is essential for beginning a quality article review.
