UCF Psychology Question – Description
To earn the points for this experience, you may write up to ten article summary papers. Article summaries are submitted via the GEP PSY 2012 Webcourses and are NOT submitted to your instructor.
Each paper will be worth up to one (1) of your ten (10) points, depending on how carefully you follow the instructions and rubric below.
WHAT SHOULD BE IN AN ARTICLE SUMMARY?
Each paper needs to be between 800-1,000 words- no more and no less. Indicate the total word count at the top of your paper on the first page.
You must also use 12-point Times New Roman font.
You need to save your file as either Microsoft Word format or rich text format (.rtf) in order for the summary to be uploaded to Webcourses. It is your responsibility to ensure that your file is saved correctly and in the correct file format before the deadline. It is also your responsibility to ensure that you can successfully upload your article summary into the system prior to the deadline and that your summary is submitted in the correct assignment in this webcourse. Do not wait until the last minute to upload your article summaries in case you experience technical problems.
Your paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin upon submission, to determine how another author’s work was used in the assignment. Make sure you take notes while reading the selected article in your own words. Do not copy and paste directly from the selected article because matches to other authors’ works of 30% or more will result in an automatic zero (0) for the assignment.
At the top of your summary, you must include your name, the name of the article you selected, the name of the journal that the article was taken from, name of the authors of the article, and your total word count. An example is below:
Student name
Name of article
Name of journal that the article was in
Authors names
Word count
Your summary should not include any direct quotations from the article you selected. Put everything in your own words and do not summarize the abstract section of the article.
You should summarize a recent research journal article from one of the American Psychological Association (APA) journals listed in the table below. Please note that you will receive a zero if your summary is on a paper that is not from one of the journals listed below and/or it is not clear from your title page whether you used one of these journals.
Remember! If you upload your file in any format that is not Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or rich text format (.rtf) your paper will receive a zero. Also, you will receive deductions if you do not follow all of the instructions carefully (see below grading rubric).

*We will utilize Turnitin.com when grading article summaries. This is an automated system instructors can use to quickly and easily compare each student’s assignment with billions of websites, published articles, as well as an enormous database of student papers that grows with each submission. The system assigns a plagiarism score and a score to indicate if an AI was used to write the submission. You will be expected to submit assignments through the Webcourse Assignment Tool in electronic format. After the assignment is processed, a report is generated from Turnitin.com that states if and how another author’s work was used in the assignment. An overall score for the use of others work is generated as well as a score for the detection of AI in the submission. For a more detailed look at this process, visit http://www.turnitin.com Links to an external site.. If there is an excessive plagiarism match (i.e., 30% or more) or high AI detection (i.e., 50% or more) based on the Turnitin report, you will receive a zero (0) for the submission, not just a point reduction. In addition, your professor may be notified so that they can take corrective action. Please see the University’s Golden Rule Student Handboo Links to an external site. for the policy regarding academic misconduct. If the excessive plagiarism match or high AI detection score is above the noted cut-offs, you can resubmit the assignment one additional time before the due date to fix the issue. However, after the second submission, if the plagiarism or AI score is above the noted cut-offs, the score of zero will be assigned, and it will not be reconsidered or regraded.
