Students should use 3 documents for this assignment. First, there is the RAO Form that is blank and is set up for you to fill in the details that you want summarize about the article you picked. Second, there is a document in Canvas called the RAO Directions (What to Write). Students should read this and follow the instructions for what to write in their summary. The last document is the RAO Summary. This is what YOU write in response to the prompts in the RAO Directions document. The RAO Summary is what you will submit in Canvas.
After closely reading the journal article attached, students should summarize the article by completing the Research Article Overview (RAO) Form filling in the relevant details required by the RAO Directions document.
Instructions for what and how to write your RAO Summary follow:
– Students should use the RAO Form to fill in the relevant details of their journal article. Do not create a new document. Students will need to download the form to complete it (fill in the details). (Attached)
– Students should follow the directions on the RAO Directions document when completing this assignment. (Attached)
– Students’ RAO Summary should not go over 2 pages of single-spaced text. There is no need for a reference list because all the relevant information about the source is provided at the top of the RAO. Most of the writing in your summaries should be in your own words.
– Students should use quotes sparingly in their writing. If you do quote something from the journal article you pick, use quotation marks and cite the page number. Do not plagiarize in your writing.
– Leave the section headings (found on the RAO Form) in the document that you turn in for grading. This means that everyone’s submitted RAO Summary should have the following section headings: Your Name, Date Due, The Main Topic of This Journal Article, Author(s) Name(s), Complete Source Information for Journal Article, Study Rationale, Literature Review, Study Design and Data Collected, Main Findings/Results/Conclusions, Criticisms/Opinion, Connections to Cohen’s 4th These section headings should be underlined and bolded.
– Do not use AI to generate any of the writing in your RAO summaries. If you do this, you will be reported as having an academic integrity violation. Using AI for this assignment is considered cheating. Your thoughts and ideas in the summaries should be your own. If you use AI, you will earn 0 points and may fail the course.
– The two most important parts of this assignment are the Literature Review and the Connections you make with Cohen’s text. These two sections are worth the most points. Be sure to carefully follow the directions in these two sections. Note that because they are worth the most points, you should be careful to thoroughly write enough in these two sections of the RAO Summary you submit.
– The journal article as well as the book PDF
is attached. Only correlate and quote things from chapter 7 in the book. There is a table of contents in the PDF. Please look at Chapter 7, “Love and Romantic Relationships”.
