Now it is time to read the article. Generally, you can access the article's full text by clicking "Access now" as pictured in the screenshot above.

In the space provided on the assessment page, compose a 50-150word summary in your ownWords after reading the article that addresses these concepts: (40 points)

• State the main point of the article in your ownWords.
• Analyze the article for 1-2 main points, and summarize them in your ownWords.
• Describe the conclusion of the article.
• Create the in-text citation for the source. As demonstrated in your lecture, in-text citation should go immediately after any sentence in which you use information from a source. It does not matter if we paraphrase, quote, or summarize -- we must give credit. Basic in-text citation includes the author's last name, the year created, published, copyrighted, etc., and a page or paragraph number if taken from one of those specific places. Using the sample source from above, the citation is (Carlberg, 1983, p. 74). When combined with, for example, a summary or paraphrase, it would look like: Videos can be a good way to learn (Carlberg, 1983, p. 74).
• CreateA reference for the source. References are longer than in-text citations and show up as an alphabetical list at the end an essay or paper in which we have sources. Using the sample source again, the reference would be:

Carlberg, S. (1983, December). Tapping the video work-study resource. Training & development journal, 37 (12), 74-78. EBSCOhost database.

Make note of some details: use only the first initial of the author's first name, use the full date with the year first, use both the article and journal titles, use only the numbers for volume, issue, and page range, and if it is from the Virtual Library, state EBSCOhost database (or other appropriate database).
