One of the ways in which you become literate with MIS and IT terminology is by reading, reading, and more reading of current articles. After you have found five sound, interesting articles you will abstract them. This requires discretion, a sound understanding of the article and course concepts and, good wordsmithing skills.
An abstract summarizes in 100 words or less the thesis and any evidence presented in the article. An abstract is not your opinion of the article, the author or the writing style. Do not choose an article that is a public relations or promotional piece.
Demonstrate your ability to be a sound consumer of information by choosing well and discussing five articles from your choice of a relevant IT or Business online periodicals. (Try Google.com, ZD.net or Findarticles.com if you don't have any preferred sites of your own.)
