JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
You will conduct 2 reviews during this course. Your Journal Article Reviews must involve critiquing and reviewing selected articles on specific topics. Each review must be 1-2 double-spaced pages and follow current APA format. This includes the use of APA headings (Summary, Analysis, Personal Response).
A submission of less than 1 page will not receive credit. You must choose an article from 1 of the professional journals of special education listed below.
You will evaluate and critique 1 research article from varying professional journals. The journal article reviews must involve critiquing and reviewing selected articles on specific assigned topics.
The paper will include a title page, a reference page, body (Summary, Analysis, Personal Response), and have a 2-page limit. The title page, in-text citations, and the reference page are NOT included in the word limit. Journal article critiques consist of three parts (separated by APA formatted headings):
• Part 1-Summary Paragraph;
• Part 2-Analysis of Author's Key Points;
• Part 3-Personal Response.
Please note the articles should be recent (within the last 5 years), and the article topic for each review must be relevant to the current topic in the chapter readings.
Therefore, the topics for each journal article review are as follows:
• Journal Article Review #1 - Individualized Education Program
• Journal Article Review #2 - Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Communication Disorders
When composing your reviews, practice using graduate professional writing. Do not begin with "This article is about..." Instead, open the review with a strong thesis statement and summarize the author's main points in the first paragraph.
Using third person, state your personal reaction to the article in the final paragraph ("This author agrees/disagrees..." or "one can see that...").
