• What process did you use to decide on a topic and to research, narrow your search, and locate this source? (1 paragraph minimum)
  • Example: My decision to research Wilms Tumors in children was relatively easy because I love a child with Wilms. I went to the main search bar in the Chamberlain online library and typed in: Wilms Tumor. I knew I would get many results, and I did receive over 25,000 hits so began using the options, cutting down to just the past few years for dates, and choosing "Peer-reviewed Journals" so I knew I would have scholarly sources. Narrowing to very recent publications took me down to 668 hits and narrowing to scholarly and full text took me to 401 hits. This is still quite a bit, so I decided to click on the "limit by subject" area and chose "survival," which narrowed my list to 9.
• Why did you ultimately choose this specific source? (1 paragraph minimum)
  • Example: In my list of 9 sources, one title contained the question: "Has the Final Word Been Spoken?" I was intrigued and opened and read this article because I was intrigued by the hint that there is more good news to come on Wilms Tumors.
• Practice writing your own sentence with a quotation from that source. Use a signal phrase, integrate the quotation, use quotation marks, and cite it fully directly after in an in-text parenthetical citation in correct APA. Follow this with a brief discussion of why you find the source and concept interesting, and end with a correct end reference for the source in APA style.
  • Example:According to Kurian et al., (2023), "Complete tumor excision with no spill is of paramount importance" but "biological behavior" remains "unclear, and concerted efforts to study this are required" (p. 26). This conclusion did give me hope because while I know that we always need more information, I also know that in my family's case, the removal was a success.
