Got your article to review? Hopefully, you watched the videos in last week’s module the Basic Searching video and the Lecture on APA Style video had information that can continue to help you this week. In the searching video, Claire Nickerson talked about how to use library resources to find academic articles and provided help for reading academic articles. I am also including two new videos in this post. One has an overview of how to find the right kind of article for your review. And, the video with a review of Topic 58 starts with some questions students had about the right article to choose and how to review it.

Study Tips for Quiz:
To prepare for the quiz, be sure to review the textbook and the PowerPoints! Have some easy to reference notes, too.
You should not expect to do well on the quiz if you are not pretty familiar with all of that material. While the quiz is open-book, it does not provide you with much time to find the answers. Be sure you are ready to answer the questions on your own.
The quiz will be available one week after it is due. This can help you review your answers and take notes to help you with the mid-term. Once you finish the quiz, you should be able to review each question, whether you got credit for your answer, and what options were available.
All quizzes are multiple-choice. While some questions may be accidentally set to multiple-answer, only one answer will be the correct answer. Be sure to choose the best possible answer.
