Journal Article Summary

Students will use the Library Guide (http://libguides.utoledo.edu/aging) to search for a professional journal article related to a health and aging issue of interest to the student. For example, a student who wants to be a Physical Therapist may wish to research a Physical Therapy journal and gain insight into a recent study on stroke rehabilitation while a Nursing student may wish to research quality of care in acute care settings. You are free to choose a journal article found through this Library Guide on a topic of your choosing that also relates to health issues among the older population. Students will be responsible for the following:

1. Selecting and carefully reading a recent (2015 to current) article on a topic of their interest. This needs to be downloaded as a pdf article and uploaded with the assignment to the assignment dropbox.
2. Condensing the key points of the article into a 2-page summary in their own words (using the required formatting). This must be done using full sentences and paragraphs. Bulleted lists are not acceptable for this assignment.
3. The student must then type a 1-2 page paper in which they describe why this topic is important and what they found interesting about the reviewed article.

Students will be graded using the following criteria:
