Q Assignment #1 - Identify original, empirical research, review it, and critique it! Assignment #1 will be spilt up into five small "chunks". In this chunk you only have to identify an article that fits the criteria. You will revisit this same article in Assignment #1 parts B, C, D and E! So, make sure you find the topic of the article interesting. The combination of all of these, A-E is a thorough analysis of an original research article. The parts could be combined to start you off on your way to an annotated bibliography or literature review of your own. Assignment #1A - Original Research Article - Identify Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to identify original, empirical, peer-reviewed social research. Reviewing the current literature on a topic of interest is one of the first steps in the research process. Skills: You will work with online databases to identify a original, empirical, peer-reviewed research article. Knowledge: You will begin to gain knowledge about the topic of interest that you would like to study further - perhaps in Capstone (in a real literature review you would continue this many times over until you felt you understood the state of the topic entirely). Task: 1. Use online databases – through the library – to identify a peer-reviewed, original, empirical research article on the topic of your interest. 2. Once you have identified the article fits the criteria (peer-reviewed, original research, and is actually readable), do a brief review of the article using the methods discussed in the module and in class. Have a basic idea of what the article is about and feel confident that you can read and understand it! 3. Once you feel confident you have an appropriate article that you are interested in and can understand, save a pdf of the article. 4. Upload a pdf of the article. Links or bibliographic format are not acceptable.
