Where do I find the articles to summarize? All the articles available to summarize are available here. Please do not select an article that is not on the list.

· What do I include in the summary? Go through the list of articles and find one that is interesting to you. Read the article carefully. Then answer 5 essay-style questions about the article: 1) What were the main finding? 2) What were two strengths? 3) What were two weaknesses? 4) What other questions occurred to you? 5) How would you apply these findings?

· How long does my summary have to be? The response to each of the 5 questions has to be least 1000 characters long. Please note that characters are not words. “This is research” is 3 words, but 16 characters. So, 1000 characters is about half a page of text. If your response to any question is less than 1000 characters, you will not be able to submit the summary. You can use any character count tool to check that your response is long enough. Word has one built into it.

· How do I submit the summary? You will be submitting your summary via an online survey. Summaries that are submitted via any other method will not be graded. Please do not email the summaries to your instructor or to me. You will be able to access the survey just once.Consequently, you need to have the answers to all 5 questions written out and saved somewhere before you access the survey. If you are doing more than one summary, you should have the answers to all questions for each article completed before you access the survey.

Here is a checklist to make sure that your summary meets all the guidelines and will get a credit:

· Make sure you submit the summary on time. The deadline is 5 pm on December 2nd. However, if you wait till the afternoon of the 2nd, there is a good chance that the survey will not be available because so many students are trying to access it that it has crashed. Please plan to submit all your summaries before the 2nd to ensure they are submitted on time.

· Confirm that the response to every question is at least 1000 characters long. If your response is not long enough, the survey will not let you continue to the next question. Please do not try to pad your response by using spaces or nonsense characters.

· Please do not engage in any academic dishonesty. The summaries are like any other paper you would submit for class. This means that all the content has to be your own. Please do not quote from the research papers, use the title of the paper excessively, or copy-paste any text (even your own).

· Remember that every word of every response is going to be read by someone. It is very easy to detect a summary that is not long enough or does not have original content. There is no partial credit. If even one of your five responses to the questions is not okay, then the entire summary will be given 0 credit.
