Carefully choose a journal article, pertaining to research on one of the topics addressed thus far in the course (Ch. 3-7) (you may need to do several readings to fully understand it). Note the rationale for the study, its purpose, the basic method used, the results, and the discussion of the results. Unless you’ve had advanced statistical courses, the results section may be difficult to understand but try to understand as much as you can. Notice that the article’s abstract and the discussion section often emphasize the major findings.
