Article Summary Paper 1
You must submit a 2-3 page summary of the assigned journal article readings from this module. This is not the appropriate place to discuss whether or not you enjoyed the material but is instead a means to assess whether or not you understood the material well enough to briefly summarize it. In other words, do not make your own argument in the summary papers (you will do that on your exam answer instead summarize the study or key arguments the author(s) is making. These summary papers can be used to assist you on your midterm exam.
