Assignment: SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL ARTICLE
• Locate a professional article, some how related to the housing industry/financial crisis of 2008. The article must come from an academic journal or professional publication.
• Produce a summary of the article. Your summary must be between 300-400 words. In order to meet the length criteria, you must endeavor to edit effectively.
• The original article must be attached to the submitted summary.
*In order to earn full-credit, you must attach to your summary a copy of the article about which you are writing.
*Note: A summary is a condensed "re-statement" of an extended idea or argument. A summary neither analyzes nor offers an opinion of a text; it simply, briefly restates it. Remember also that a Summary -- because it is the re-telling of another person's work/idea -- must include appropriate source citations.
*Suggested Publications (search archives):
• Wall Street Journal
• Businessweek
• New York Times
• Money (magazine)
• Washington Post
• Fortune (magazine).
