This assignment should be typed. Submit a hard copy of this assignment plus your five primary research articles together in a folder so they do not get separated. Please remember to put your name on your folder and this assignment. *It is necessary to submit a hard copy of these articles so that I can verify the content. In addition, you will refer to these articles during class activities throughout the course.
