Article Summary
Instructions: Find one article on any course related topic (computer or information technology). You may use the Library link in the classroom. The article should be relevant to a course topic and from a creditable source. You may choose your article from independent reading and research; or you may search the Internet. Also consider the following:
- www.pcmag.com
- http://www.itworld.com/
- http://www.pcworld.com/
- www.howstuffworks.com/
- www.geek.com
- www.pcpitstop.com
Summarize the article in your own words and include information in your paper on how the article relates to course concepts. Discuss the course material. Demonstrate you have read the course content and you understand how to relate your research to current events. Use the appropriate APA citation to illustrate when you move from the article summary to material from the course content.
Your article summary should not exceed 5 pages. Turnitin is used in this class to assess the originality of your work–you must have less than 15% Similarity/matching. Paraphrase instead of using direct quotes to reduce your matching percent to 15% or less.
