Research Report – 15% (Due week 13)
For this component you will prepare a report or critique on the paper you chose from the
Presentation and Participation component above.
Your report should be limited to approx. 1500 words (not including references). Use 1.5 spacing
with a 12-point Times New Roman font. Though your paper will largely be based on the chosen
article, you can use other sources to support your discussion. Citation of sources is mandatory
and must be in the Harvard style.
Your report or critique must include:
Title Page: The title of the assessment, the name of the paper you are reviewing and its authors,
and your name and student ID.
Introduction: A statement of the purpose for your report and a brief outline of how you will
discuss the selected article (one or two paragraphs). Make sure to identify the article being
reviewed.
Body of Report: Describe the intention and content of the article. If it is a research report, discuss
the research method (survey, case study, observation, experiment, or other method) and
findings. Comment on problems or issues highlighted by the authors. Discuss the conclusions of
the article and how they are relevant to what you are studying this semester.
Conclusion: A summary of the points you have made in the body of the paper. The conclusion
should not introduce any ‘new’ material that was not discussed in the body of the paper. (One or
two paragraphs)
References: A list of sources used in your text. They should be listed alphabetically by (first)
author’s family name. Follow the Harvard style.
The footer must include your name, student ID, and page number.
