At the top of the assignment, please provide the full citation of the article in APA format. For example:
Where:
Kane, R., and White, M. = authors
(2009) = year of publication
Criminology & Public Policy = journal title (in italics)
8 = journal volume number
737-769 = journal page range that contains the article
In summarizing the articles, please report the following:
Each annotation should be no more than one page(single spaced with headings). I assign the annotations for two reasons: (1) to get students reading the original research published in scientific journals, and (2) to give students experience with objectively reporting research findings using a concise and systematic method. I realize that not all students will have taken research methodology and/or statistics before taking this class. Although I do not expect any methodological or statistical expertise from you, I do expect that students will take the time necessary to read, understand, and report the findings.
Please Note: Unless crucial to your annotation, students are not allowed to use direct quotes when annotating/summarizing studies. On limited occasions direct quotations are necessary because authors sometimes write statements in ways that are very difficult to summarize without quoting them. Under these circumstances, you may directly quote them, making full and proper use of quotation marks and page number(s). Under general circumstances, however, students must not directly quote studies. I impose this rule to encourage students to think about how to summarize in your own words. This method requires students to think about the meaning of the study and its findings far more than simply transcribing direct statements from the article do.
