Q To develop expertise on your topic from a number of points of view, and to summarize and critique academic work, and build an intellectual foundation for your final project, choose: • a minimum of three articles (electronic and/or RESEARCHED JOURNAL printed media) related to your interest area—at least one from a source that has a supportive position relative to your topic and at least one from a source that has an opposing position relative to your topic. The third article can be background information on your topic or you can provide an additional supporting/opposing viewpoint article. Using a popular magazine (People, Newsweek, Time, local newspaper), chat web, blog or wikipedia is not considered scholarly research sources. Utilizing these resources will result in 0 for your response paper. IF YOU ARE EXPANDING A TOPIC COVERED IN A PREVIOUS COURSE, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SAME RESEARCH/RESOURCE MATERIAL FROM THAT COURSE. IT MUST BE ORIGINAL RESEARCH - TO USE A PREVIOUS RESOURCE IS PLAGIARISM AND WILL RESULT IN A 'F' FOR THE ENTIRE COURSE. If there is a question, let me know. Using the following guidelines: 1. Identify your Research Question (established in Response #1). 2. Clearly provide a summary of the article and author(s) assumptions - for viewpoints, how is the information presented from each viewpoint? Be sure to identify if the article as pro/con of your topic (not your personal position on the topic) 3. Provide your critique including at least one pro and con of each article viewpoint 4. Provide a summary of whether this gives you a different perspective to consider for your stated viewpoint in Response #1 Be sure to include APA citations in-text and in a Reference Page. In reading and grading your paper, I will want to see that you have covered each of these questions sufficiently and effectively. If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact the librarian liaison for CST, Jenny Dale (jedale2@uncg.edu) and/or http://uncg.libguides.com/CST315 (Links to an external site.). Also, the Writing Center will provide assistance in your writing. All these resources are available to help you succeed in CST315. At the end of each response should be the statement: "My CST 315 response submitted is original, cited properly and done independently (your name included)"
