Assignment
General Instructions
Students are required to identify and prepare a written article summary associated with a human needs
topic/problem (chosen from the list). The student is expected to select an article dated between 2013−present
from a peer-review journal. The article should have a cover page, page numbers, and reference page. Students
should refer to their notes from the class visit to the library regarding research.
Writing Laboratory
In addition, working in tandem with the writing laboratory will give the student an opportunity to
assess/scrutinize his/her written work that will ultimately result in earning a satisfactory grade. Therefore, in
order to earn the total points for this portion of the assignment, the student must verify that contact has been
made with the writing tutor in the Center for Academic Success’s (CAS) Tutoring Lab. Information about the
Tutoring Lab can be found on Brightspace (Desire2Learn [D2L]) or at
https://www.savannahstate.edu/cas/tutorial-services.shtml. I recommend setting an appointment with the tutor
for 30 minutes to 01 hour to discuss your paper. English Tutor Consultation Verification Form, which is located
in D2L under this assignment tab, must be signed by the English tutor, which verifies that you attended a
writing session with the tutor. Also, the tutor should notate at least two areas of improvement that was focused
on throughout the paper. Students should strongly encourage and reemphasize to the tutor to write comments on
the paper as students will have to submit the marked paper with the final version of the paper as electronic and
hard-copies by the appropriate deadline.
Plagiarism
Last, the final version of the paper must reflect 30% or less in plagiarized work based on the report provided by
Turnitin.
