Write an essay that analyzes a peer-reviewed research article from an academic journal. This essay should demonstrate the student’s understanding of basic research concepts and analyze the article selected.
It is recommended that students select articles in their area of interest.
Work on these assignments will be assessed by how well each essay:
accurately reviews the article’s key research design elements (including the research question, hypotheses, variables, indicators, analysis methods, etc.);
presents a clear and concise summary of the study’s findings; and
is written professionally (i.e. grammar, syntax, spelling, etc.).
