Overview

Throughout this course, you will be working on a final project that involves summarizing and reviewing a peer-reviewed article related to a topic in forensic psychology.You will be using a class wiki to work on your article review. For an excellent illustration of the utility and function of wikis, view Wikis in Plain English by Common Craft. Also, refer to these links for adding and editing a wiki page in Blackboard.You must create your own page in the class wiki for you to work on and post your article review.

While wikis are appropriate for group work, they can also be used by an individual. In an individual wiki, collaboration happens between the student and the instructor (instead of between group members). The wiki eliminates the need for multiple submissions of unique drafts. In effect, the wiki becomes the workspace where the student practices and perfects the project until the final submission.For more information about blogs and wikis, please review these tutorials.

Main Elements/Format

Reading the Article

• Allow enough time to understand it.

• Read the article without taking notes to gain an overall idea of its main idea.

• Read the article again analytically highlighting important ideas and making brief notes of main ideas and main topic.

Writing the Article Review

• Provide a synopsis of the article.Make sure to address these questions:

o What is this article specifically addressing?

o How does this article related to your selected topic?

o Did the article contain research? Provide a summary of the research that was discussed, as applicable.

o If applicable: What data was used? What instruments, if any, were used to collect data?

o If applicable: What were some of the conclusions, if any, to the research in this article?

• Your synopsis should end with a review and critique of your article. Make sure to address these questions:

o What references did the author use in this article?

o Was the article reliable and valid? Explain.

o Was this article well-written? Thoughtful and reflective?

o What were the limitations in this article? Any variables?

There is no minimum number of pages as your article review should live on its own wiki page and should be substantive.
