Week 6 - Article analysis
This week students will be using a worksheet to perform a guided analysis of the articles they have selected from their research last week. Additional article analysis resources can be found via Purdue Owl (linked in Week 5 Module).
Analysis Worksheet
Use the following worksheet to read and analyze the article you chose last week. Please utilize your time effectively. As this is the only assignment for the week I expect high quality work and thoughtful analysis. I understand you may not fully understand the science in the article but this can and should be included as a part of your discussion.

Week 5 - Online Research
This week students will practice finding and reading research articles related to course content. This week will focus on finding research using databases.
Finding research Info/Tips
Students have access to the TexQuest database at this link: https://galesupport.com/texquest/oos.php?link=https://infotrac.gale.com/itweb/texquest2?db=AONE
Locate Manara Academy in the dropdown menu and enter 'learn' as the password for access.
Students may also find articles at https://scholar.google.com/.
Purdue Owl has an excellent website that provides helpful information and guides for finding research online. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/conducting_research/searching_online/index.html

Student Assignment/Goal
Your task this week is to find one or two research articles about a topic we have covered in class this year. Choose a topic that you find interesting and a research paper that you feel you generally understand. You will be using these papers and topics in the weeks to come. Take the time this week to READ through several articles and select one that you genuinely like and understand. This will make the rest of the work we will do with the papers much easier and more enjoyable for you.
