you in all matters pertaining to conducting your research, including what constitutes a scholarly article. For more details on what
constitutes a scholarly journal (and what does not), visit Jerry Falwell Library’s “Scholarly Journals – What Are They?”

After reading the textbook, specifically state why you are interested in conducting further research on this key term (e.g., academic
curiosity, application to a current issue related to employment, or any other professional rationale). Include a substantive reason,
not simply a phrase.
2. Explanation of the Key Term (150 words minimum)

3. Major Article Summary (350 words minimum)
Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article, including the major points and conclusions.
4. Discussion
In your own words, discuss each of the following points:
How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates specifically to the content of the assigned module/week.
This part of your thread provides evidence that you have extended your understanding of this key term beyond the textbook readings.
(200 words minimum)
How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your thread provides evidence that you have refined
your research key term to a coherent and specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random selection of works on the key term.
The idea here is to prove that you have focused your research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other rather
than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search. (200 words minimum)
5. References
A minimum of 5 recent scholarly articles (not textbooks, Wikipedia, or other popular reading magazines), in current APA format, must be
included and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access. In the event that formatting is lost or corrupted when
