Step 3: Title your subject line with the Topic you chose.
Step 4: For your post, include the following information:
a. Among the information sources that you choose, include at least two Primary or Secondary research articles or research reviews on the topic published within the past five (5) years. Provide in-text and end-of-text citations in a standard format (e.g., MLA or APA citation styles) (See How Science Works pp. 17-19 to learn more about journal articles). Locate journal articles through UMGC Library Journal Database Search.
b. Summarize what you learned from your reading and research. Provide a well-integrated summary that draws from all the sources you used for your research. A well-integrated summary interleaves information from all sources, rather than providing separate summaries for each cited source.
c. Discuss how the information in your research compares with the content in the video. Discuss consistencies and inconsistencies between your research findings and information in the video.
d. Based on your research findings, provide at least two distinct key takeaway lessons about free-radicals or antioxidants that could be helpful for readers to know
e. Word Limit: About one page, 500 words or less, single-spaced, excluding end-of-text citations
Step 5: Cite the full citation of your information sources including course materials. Include URLs when you cite a resource from the internet. Cite your sources using the citation format found at https://libguides.umgc.edu/c.php?g=1003870&p=7270651 Use only credible sources including course materials. If you use internet resources, consult with the UMGC library resource Is My Source Credible? (https://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/credibility.cfm) to determine if your source qualifies as a credible information source.
