partSummarizethearticles.docxIn your discussion post, you will submit the following in one post for each of your research sources (so a total of four paragraphs, each with citations and three quotes). Be sure you have also read through the lab before submitting this work:
(Review Paper 2 regarding the sources)
1) works cited citation (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. ; use EasyBib (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to create these; use NoodleBib to create these (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Remember that using an article from a database has its own format, which is available in these citation tools.
2) a summary of each scientific study (most scientific studies have an abstract that summarizes the study for you--if you use this, paraphrase it, but do not plagiarize!)
3) three quotes with in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Follow the above links to learn how to do each part of the submission.
Example Posting:
Smith, Ralina. “How Happiness Makes Us Stupid.” General Science Collection [EBSCO], Science
Monthly, 2017, Accessed 10 Aug. 2017.
[Notice that I found this in a database [EBSCO] so I needed to select database when first creating the citation. I also had to reformat it so that the second line had an indentation, which is necessary for the Works Cited page in MLA.]
In "How Happiness Make Us Stupid," Dr. Ralina Smith supports her thesis that happiness makes us less likely to learn new skills. When we are content, she argues, we simply don't care if we evolve or improve. Dr. Smith [notice that you keep mentioning attributions] studied 146 men and women at the University of Livermore. Each participant was given a survey regarding their contentedness and then asked to wait in a waiting area. In the waiting area, there was a table with articles regarding new studies in an array of fields, from astrophysics to agriculture. Those participants who marked themselves the most content were far less likely to pick up an article and read it while waiting. Only 11 of the 30 "very content" participants read an article, while 17 of 23 "moderately content" participants read an article. Those who scored as "discontented" not only read an article more frequently (4 of 6) but often left the waiting area after fifteen minutes, taking one of the articles with them. Her study concluded that people who are content are less likely to want to educate themselves or learn new ideas. She admits that her title is tongue-in-cheek and that a diminished desire to learn doesn't necessarily make one "stupid," but the results, she says, point to a need for more study in this field.
Note the following rules for a summary:
1) Never use "I" or your opinion in a summary.
2) NEVER add any idea that isn't in the article itself.
3) Do not use quotes, except when using a barrowed term.
[ I have also highlighted the three types of comma usage as required by this week's lab. Use the arrow next to the "background color" icon to do this in Canvas.]
Now add three quotes with in-text parenthetical citations that you believe will be useful in the paper. (You can change these later.):
Dr. Smith found, "72 percent of those who read articles were able to answer questions about new knowledge" (43).
"The happiness of each individual participant was not determined by race, social status, and economic status" (Smith 44).
One participant in the study noted, "I didn't feel the need to read the articles because I was content waiting" (Smith 41).
[Note different ways of including the author, either within the sentence or within the citation.]
