Article Summaries/Review

Articles are due at the beginning of the lab.  Each article should be a recent 2017 publication from any news source, online or otherwise.  (Example:  googlenews, cnn.com, the Pantagraph, etc) Please print out the article and include it with your summary. This is not a journal review. Look for current releases in the news. The length of the published article itself is not important; it needs to be long enough for you to generate a summary of a decent length.

Your work should be a review of the article in your own words.  You may include how it relates to biology or how it relates to class in general.  If you can find articles that relate to current Anatomy and Physiology topics, that's great.  Otherwise, try to look for health/medical related news topics.

Please type or computer process your article summary.  The length of the paper should be two full pages You may double space.  Submit it with the printed article for full credit.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 

The due dates for the article summaries can be located on the class calendar web page and often times in ReggieNet. 

A note on plagiarism: The TAs that will be grading your summaries are instructed to look for content directly from the original article. Using “according to…” and then using the same sentence and info from the article is still considered plagiarism. Be sure that all of your work has been paraphrased. Take the information from the article and put it into your own words. Any paper submitted that is too similar to the original article will receive zero points.

A note on the word “summary”: Although this assignment is referred to as a “summary” you’ll find that you are not being asked to shorten the work of the original publishing author. You are asked to explain the content of the article, and then discuss aspects of it as to how it may pertain to Anatomy and Physiology.
