You will build on what you have done from the previous article assignments by selecting an academic paper on your own and applying the skills from the previous article assignments. The goal of this assignment is to ensure your comfort with reading academic articles. You will essentially be mimicking what you have done on the previous article assignments, only this time on an article of your choosing and putting your responses on a word document.

Here are the steps for the assignment:

Step 1.

Select a peer reviewed article on the subject of sociology (or a sufficiently similar social science) using SDSU library resources. The type of article is up to you, but you must be able to answer the following questions with it. I would suggest a paper using quantitative methods given that’s what most of the past article assignments were geared towards.

If you are not clear on what a peer reviewed article constitutes, consult this link: http://guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/c.php?g=288333&p=1… or this link: http://www.angelo.edu/services/library/handouts/pe…

Step 2.

Each essay response must be a minimum of a page in length. A page includes the following:top to the bottom, 12 font, double spaced.
