Assignment:
Please read the research article related to the use of laptops in the classroom: Laptop multitasking hinders classroom learning for both users and nearby peers. Write at least a 3 page summary in a word processing software. Two pages and two paragraphs is not considered three pages. The title, your name, and other similar information are not considered part of the summary, so they will not count towards the 3 page length.
Your grade for the summary will depend on the content AND presentation.
The summary should not include: citations of an entire paragraphs (you need to summarize the case); lists; tables or figures; anything that looks like a student tries to fill three pages.
For a good presentation you have to type (and then print) the summary in a word processing software file with the following specifications:
- font size: 12
- font style: Times New Roman
- line spacing: 1.5 lines
- margins: 1 inch (top, bottom, left or right)
- align text: justify
