2) Find three current (since 1995) articles on the single topic. In a short write up, include the general thesis and conclusions of each article, the weakness or flaws you may see and the usefulness of the article.-- Articles only.

3) In a short concluding section, write a general summary of your literature search of the three articles, specifying where they agree and disagree and how your thinking has been altered, or supported, after studying the three articles.

4) The total assignment should be no more than four pages minimum three.
