O’Boyle Hall, room 324

Spring 2004

Students must complete 10 credits in order to receive full credit for the research participation requirement of this course; however, you can reach that total by participating in on-going research studies, completing written assignments, or a combination of both as long as you complete at least 10 credits in total. For those students who would prefer to complete written assignments as part of their credit total, this site contains additional articles that you can read, summarize, and discuss for 2 credits each.

The instructions for this assignment are the same as the instructions for the two homework assignments you completed earlier in the semester. You must turn in your written work before the final exam on Tuesday, May 4 in order to receive full credit. Here are the articles that you can choose from:
