summaries assignment
The topic I have decided to write my research paper on is The effect of technology on relationships. I chose this topic because I find it interesting and disappointing on how couples can go out together on a date and be on their cellular devices the whole time, or only communicate throughout the day on their phones. I feel as if couples need to be more connected with each other, see each other more to have a healthier relationship. But I know for a fact that couples that are younger, use things like “FaceTime” or social media platforms like “Snapchat”, “Instagram” and more to communicate. Some things I want to learn about my topic are, how it has made it easier for couples to communicate, how it makes couples distance from each other, and how it can distract people.
FOR THE RESEARCH SUMMARIES HERE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS
Choose 5 to 7 articles from the LAVC or other college library. For each article, you will write 1-2 pages that contain the following: (This means your assignment, called a research synthesis, will be 6-10 pages single spaced.)
- Information about the article as it will appear – MLA style – in your bibliography.
- A summary of the article (1-2 paragraphs)
- A list of statistical data/key ideas/quotes from the article that MIGHT appear in your paper
- A reaction to the article (1 paragraph; this can include your opinion, how the article fits into your paper, other research you think you need as a result of reading it, etc.)
THIS IS NOT AN ESSAY, but a repository of your research. You only need to list each summary one after the other.
