Discuss - general guidelines for research writing:
What makes research writing different than ordinary information/observation writing?
Identify and explain major components of a research paper format
Why use peer-reviewed journals in research?
Why are keywords used in the Abstract and during the Literature Review process?
Why use/apply APA basic citation style in these writing assignments?
Why is academic integrity important (see syllabus)?
Evaluate - notice what research components (Title, Abstract, Method, etc.) are found in the article
State the name of the article you found and that is being evaluated and who the author(s) is/are.
What is this article about - talk about its context (what is the topic; its purpose, and significance to what/whom)?
What components of a research format is included in this article?
How does its format contribute to the purpose of the writing?
Do the author(s) use this format in a way that furthers research - what other component(s), if any, might be helpful to that purpose?
