Instruction :  Each student will write a short research paper for a peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the weeks assigned reading. This will be a detailed summary of the research paper and what you gained from the research. Each week, you will find an article/peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assignment. If you have a difficult time, Google Scholar is a wonderful location to find these types of articles:  https://scholar.google.com/  Once you find the article, you will simply read it and then write a review of it. Think of it as an article review where you submit a short overview of the article.  *All outside sources must be referenced and cited in your paper. All papers will be reviewed with a plagiarism software. Any references not properly referenced and cited will result in a 0 on your paper. Multiple violations will result in a failure for the course!
