Although the following points need not constitute headings, your submission must include, formatted as you think best and bearing in mind the CMAPP model’s complementary attributes:

1. identification information: course name, assignment name, your surname and first name;

2. a summary (the main points and significant details) of the article you have chosen;

3. your own evaluation/assessment of it;

4. your reasoned explanation of the type of article you believe it to be, e.g., research study, tutorial;

6. your reasoned explanation of the likely importance of the article to that primary audience;

7. an explanation of what (if anything) you have gained from reading the article;
