Article Reviews:
Important: the articles must be current (not over two years old--if in doubt, ask first). When you are done, post your work in your assignment folder for AR1, AR2, and so on as a Word attachment. Note: this is not a research paper, where you have a topic and find sources to back up your work; instead, you must find an article on a topic you are interested and review the article itself. Careful with plagiarism.
Details:
A one and a half-to-two page (and definitely, no more than 3) review of the article using APA format: double-spaced, 12 point, Arial or Times New Roman, left aligned, 1' margins, header with name&page number (at least), etc.
APA format The article will include:
1. An objective summary of the article (author's main point/-s, ethical dilemmas, legal issues, etc.)--40%
2. Your personal input/suggestions as the concluding paragraphs--40%, and
3. The complete source of the article (in APA style)--20%
This means that, if you give me a huge summary with a brief conclusion, then you will not earn as many points as if you follow the above instructions. Both parts of the review are equally important. The source is worth 20% based on, 1) validity of source, and 2) APA format.
Article will be on:
Children and cellphones.
How do children use mobile phones? What are the benefits? What are the problems? You might want to focus on a specific age group (young children, teenagers) or cover a bigger range. Do benefits for children and families outweigh risks? What software or other systems have developed to reduce problems?
