This analysis should focus on a topic covered in Modules 4 – 6.
Students are required to write a brief analysis of a recent article (articles from reputable news sources, blogs, magazines or even academic journal articles) that relates to a class topic discussed the previous week or two. These should be 2-3 pages typed (12-point font, 1” margins, double-spaced).
Each article analysis must contain two parts:
The first part should summarize the article you read (1-2 paragraphs). You should summarize using your own words and not the words of the author of the article. This is worth 10 points.
The second part is the analysis must explain exactly how that article relates to what we discussed in class (3-4 paragraphs). This is worth 30 points – this should be much more in depth than the summary part.
Your analysis must include explicit reference to the material we covered in lecture and/or in the assigned readings and videos- i.e., you should be supporting what you say with direct citations to the assigned readings in order to get full credit. Thoroughly explain the relevant class concept(s) that is illustrated in the article, in plain, non-technical language.
Your analysis must explain how your article is related to what we discussed in class or an assigned reading –it can be an example, a challenge to what we discussed, or simply related to class discussions or assigned readings in some other way.
This is an independent assignment. Each student should submit their own article analysis. This should be treated as a formal writing assignment. It will be graded for content as well as grammar/spelling. I will also be running these assignments through Turnitin to check for plagiarism, so be sure to use your own words, paraphrase and provide proper quotations and citations where necessary.
