Article Report Instructions
Your article report study will include a current business article of your choice. “Current” means not older than one year. This report will be a summary of an article you have selected from a current national news magazine, newspaper, or website.
Attached is the BUSI 1301 Report Format
1. Write a three to five sentence summary of the article. You will briefly summarize the article by stating the main points in your own words in a few complete sentences (just enough to capture the gist of the article). DO NOT include your opinion in the summary section of the report. A summary includes only information that is contained in the article–it is not an essay. (Attached is the BUSI 1301 Report Format)
2. (Separate Page) Write at least a half-page, double-spaced opinion section about the article. Provide your conclusions or opinions about the article. Your thoughts/opinion should only appear in the opinion section. Do not restate the summary. What is your opinion and how does it relate to business?
3. The report must be in the correct format with all items completed, all information typed. The writing must be correct with regard to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.
4. Include a copy of the article or a web link to the article with the completed Article Report.
5. Substantiate your answers with quotations from the course textbook and give parenthetical citation. Explain the connection to your opinion. Do not cite a broad range of pages as the source for the answer. In other words, do not cite pages 33-55; be specific.
6. If there is no summary or text citations, there could be a substantial percent deduction.
