Research Slideshow Project by Holly Pottle https://padlet.com/hollypottle1/5laqctk7d5u7 Due in the "Discussions" link across the top center of our class Blackboard page Thursday, May 12 by 11:59 p.m. Worth 200 points. As a science, sociology focuses a lot on research. For this assignment, you will choose two studies from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals based on a topic you are interested in. I asked students to submit citations of two studies you are considering using, and providee feedback in the "My Grades" link on the left sidebar of our class Blackboard page, or by e-mail if you e-mailed these to me. Use the small icon on the right of each column to scroll up and down it. en-us 2018-03-16 15:58:40 UTC 2023-01-22 17:21:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Video Tutorial hollypottle1 https://padlet.com/hollypottle1/5laqctk7d5u7/wish/246024318 Here is a video tutorial I created on how to locate scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles on the STC library's website, and a shortcut for how to copy and paste citations from the STC library's website: https://use.vg/bvPMia

-To the right of your article you should see a list of icons.  
-One icon is a yellow rectangle that says "Cite" when you scroll over it. 
-Click onto the "Cite" icon and scroll down until you find APA. Then copy and paste this onto another document and add it to your poster with the heading "Article Citation."

Peer-reviewed journal articles include the thorough write up of entire studies by the researchers who did the studies.   Articles are reviewed by professionals in the subject (such as sociology) and the reviewers can decide to accept the article as is, reject it, or give a conditional acceptance which means the article will be accepted if certain modifications are met.  

1.  Go to the STC website at www.southtexascollege.edu .
