Discussion Section Summary
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to help you…
1. build toward the larger final article summary.
3. develop your skills in interpreting the conclusions and implications of an empirical article.
4. describe an portion of an empirical article briefly in writing to someone else (in this case, your professor).
Task: In less than 1 page, double-spaced…
1. provide the reference citation again for the article you selected (same article).
2. describe whether the hypothesis was supported or refuted, implications of the research findings for society, study limitations (what remaining questions might you or other researchers have about this topic? what might be alternative explanations for the results?), and future directions (what is a possible follow-up study that can address the limitations discussed?).
Criteria: Your summaries will be graded based on…
1. whether or not you have used full and appropriate APA formatting
2. how completely you have described the conclusions, limitations, and possible future research directions stemming from the article.
3. how clearly you have described the sections for another person (again, in this case, your professor)
