Article Discussion
Article Discussion (50) points
You will complete one Article Discussion assignment this semester. The article must be a peer reviewed journal article. If you have any questions about choosing an appropriate article or whether a source is authoritative, please feel free to email me no later than one week before this assignment is due or talk to me during office hours. To complete your Article Discussion, you must find an article related to a topic listed below, read that article, and write a 3-page summary on the article highlighting the most important information from the article. The summary must be detailed enough to provide the reader with a good understanding of the article without having to read the entire article. You must also incorporate relevant information from your textbook and from lectures in your summary with proper APA citation. The summary is worth 30 points. Proper APA style is worth 10 points.
After completing the summary, you must create 10 discussion questions based on your article and summary. Use opened ended questions so the reader would have to explain their answers and not just say “Yes.” Or “No.” The questions are worth 1 point each or 10 points in total.
The Article Discussion Assignment will be turned in online through Canvas by May 3rd @ 11:59pm. Articles are of the student’s choosing but MUST be about relatively current research (something written in the last 10-15 years) and address one of the following topics:
John Gottman’s Couples Counseling
The 5 Love Languages The impact of separation/divorce and the Family Court System on children and families
Treatment considerations for working with immigrant families/couples Students will turn in their summary, 10 questions, and reference page through Canvas. The Article Discussion must be in APA format. Please review APA 7 style as APA will count for 10 points of the assignment. An excellent resource is the Writing Center on Campus. In addition, please visit the Purdue OWL APA website. There is an example of an entire student paper written in APA 7 style on that website. Our course will use Turn-it-in which is a plagiarism detector. This assignment will be submitted to Turn-it-in.
