Article Review Assignment

Description of Assignment: There are 20 top issues currently trending in the field of human growth and development. Here is your opportunity to select one issue that is of interest to you and locate only one reputable article or a journal article that provides insight on the topic.

Special note: A scholarly published article will have an author and a publication date. It is also important to remember that an article review is not a research paper in which you reflect on multiple sources. An article review provides a critique on 1 article that relates to a topic in the human growth and development field.

Directions for the Assignment: Your role is to highlight the important facts about the article you selected. Additionally, your article review will also include a discussion on how well/or not well the author presented the information in the article. What could the author do to improve the article? Your article review needs to include the following components:

Title page – APA title pages are required to have the running head in the upper left corner of the page and page numbers in the upper right corner of the page.

Abstract summary – The abstract summary will begin on page two. APA abstracts are required to have a word length of 150 – 250. Keywords at the end of the abstract summary in italics is required as well.

Please be reminded that blogs are not reputable resources and therefore should not be used. Please do not use Wikipedia, blogs or any unauthorized websites for any work related to this course.

Learners who do use the resources not allowed will receive partial credit for their article review. Additionally, plagiarized article reviews that are not paraphrased in your own words will receive partial credit for their work based on the percentage of originality.

I do expect correct spelling, grammar, and language rules. Additionally you must apply APA 6
