Homework
First, refer to the Tracks and Topics for the Project document and select a track and a topic within that track that you would like to focus your final project on. (Note: In this document, you are provided with three articles for each topic, but you will need to find two additional articles in Module Three to use for your project.) Choose your track and topic thoughtfully as you will not be able to switch your track and topic once chosen. Do not worry if you are not familiar with the tracks or topics at this point in the course; you will be learning much more about them throughout the term. Please be sure to contact your instructor if you are having any trouble choosing your track.Next, analyze one of the articles within the tracks, which will provide practice for your literature review. When you complete your literature review, you will be addressing more specific elements. These questions are the first thing to think about when beginning a literature review. Keep in mind that these questions are practice and preparation for the more detailed literature review elements to come.
1. What is the title of the article?
2. What is the purpose of the article?
3. What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article?
4. What variables (factors) are being looked at as an influence on social thinking?
5. If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what does the article indicate about the findings of previous studies? This shows historical significance.
6. Describe the research design that was used in the study.
7. Do you think the research in this article was conducted in an ethical manner? Why or why not?
