Written assignment (summaries of 3 articles)
Number of words: 1000
Students are to select three (3) articles from the 6 articles provided. The articles are located in VU Collaborate, in the ‘Assignments’ folder.
Assignment criteria:
A summary of an academic article is a well-written, fully formed, coherent text that bears an accurate relationship to its original, presenting it in a much briefer form.
You will be assessed on your ability to capture essential (main) ideas and main line of reasoning of the article, leaving the redundant information out; to make connections between the identified ideas; not to offer your own opinions; and to produce a concise, coherent, well written (grammar, spelling and expressions) in your own words document.
The heading for each summary is the article’s details presented in APA 6th referencing style (see example in VU Collaborate).
Because you are required to summarise articles, reference page is not required (refer to the example in VU Collaborate).
Each summary should be 300-400 words in length and must not exceed 1100 words in total. The total word count does not include title page or headings. Please observe the assignment word limit as word count that exceeds or is below the word limit may attract a penalty. A 10% word count outside of the specified word limit is generally accepted however, you will be penalised at the rate of 5 marks for every further 10% outside the limit.
Formatting your assignment: Word document; size 12 font (Arial or Calibri); font colour black, 1.5 or 2.0 line spacing. Please do not embellish your assignments with pictures and/or borders. You must also include a title page (refer to the example in VU Collaborate).
this assignment has to be written in the following format:
-each of the articles are to be summarized in 300-400 words.
– none of the articles need to be linked to each other, they only need to be summarised as individual articles.
– at the start of each article you will need to use the APA 6th edition reference for that title of the article. that reference will be the heading for that article.
