Module : Journal Article Assignment
Assignment
You will locate two peer-reviewed journal articles related to a topic covered in Modules 3, 4, or 5 and create a professionally designed PowerPoint presentation. The two articles must be related and discuss the same topic.
In the presentation, you must identify similarities and differences in the two chosen studies and draw conclusions from the results of the studies.
The presentation should include a minimum of five slides, with audio embedded on each slide (for a total of five-to-seven minutes). You will also submit a Word document of your audio transcript.
Instructions
This assignment asks you to focus on your ability to read multiple articles, in this case two, and understand similarities and differences. Keeping in mind it is only through comparing and contrasting what is known that we understand what is possible and what is still missing.
In your quest to create new knowledge and showcase your critical thinking skills, this assignment asks you to locate two articles on the same topic and discover similarities and differences of thought, findings, and process of inquiry.
You should review the Steps from the Journal Article Assignment 1 instructions to assist you with completing this assignment.
