Half Letter Grade Every Gey 4612 Usf Does Depress
This assignment is focused on identifying a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that is about your topic of interest (the question you chose in the discussion board) – The Question of Interest that I Chose Is: “Does depression increase the risk for dementia?”
Once you have identified an article, you will summarize it, analyze its methodology, implement the TRAAP test, and apply what you have learned from the TRAAP test in order to make a valid judgment of the article’s reliability.
The article must come from a scholarly journal that has an impact factor of at least 2.0 or greater, and it must have been published in the last ten years. The empirical article that you choose cannot be a systematic review or meta-analysis (i.e. must include a report on data collected from participants). The article might not address all of the questions included on the TRAAP test, but it is important that your article does have some relevancy to your topic of interest. When analyzing your article, it is important to attempt to address as many questions in each part of the TRAAP test as possible. This may include having to do some additional research beyond what the article encompasses (GEA 2 GUIDELINES).
The assignment should have a cover page that includes your research question, name, the semester and year, as well as a working link to your article. The assignment will consist of a three paragraph in-depth summary of the article, specifically about the introduction, methodology, and results. There will also be one paragraph about the strengths and weaknesses of the article’s methodology. In addition to this, you will include one to two paragraphs discussing your rating for each section of the TRAAP test with a justification for each of these ratings, and there will be one concluding paragraph discussing how well the article addressed your research question, as well as how it could be improved.
The assignment must be typed and submitted to Canvas. Submissions via email or in the Canvas comments will not be accepted. Late assignments will lose a half letter grade every 12 hours, and will not be accepted after the third day. The assignment must be in Times New Roman font, size 12. The document must have 1-inch margins, and paragraphs must be indented and double-spaced. The assignment must be at least 4 pages in length. If you do not reach the page requirement, you will lose points for not including enough detail throughout your paper. It is therefore important that you find an article with enough information in order to discuss it for this amount of space. Finally, you must follow the rules for citing via APA and include a reference. You risk losing points if you do not follow the rules of APA and cite properly.
Your paper will be graded on your ability to follow directions and quality of your work. Please be sure to proofread all submissions to look for grammar errors, including run-on sentences. In addition to this, lengthy quotes and frequent parentheses should be avoided at all costs. These can lead to reductions in your grade. Finally, do not plagiarize someone else’s work. This includes randomly switching words in sentences. If you are caught plagiarizing, you risk the chance of receiving a 0 for this assignment (GEA 2 RUBRIC).
I highly suggest you use, and follow, the template provided in order to ensure that you have completed all parts of the assignment.
****Prior to that, please I need upload my article selection for approval for portfolio project 2 (GEA 2). With the submission, make sure to comment my research question and the journal’s 2018 or 2019 impact factor. This will be worth 1 extra credit point. (This is due in two days)****
