Description
Search for an article written by an author who works within your chosen career field by:
- Accessing the University Library and searching by subject
- Using another tool of your choice
For assistance with this process, please view How to Choose Sources For Your Paper from the Wk 1 University Library resources.
As you review the article you select, consider not only what is written, but how it is written. Make observations about the writing style and prepare to share those details with the class.

- Which article did you select?
- What was the authors purpose for writing the article?
- Who was the authors target audience?
- How might you describe the writers general tone of voice?
- How does this author establish their credibility in this field?
- Is this a credible source? How can you tell?
- What other details about how the article was written stood out to you as important?
- Include a reference list at the end of your post that credits the piece you read. Use a citation generator, such as the Reference & Citation Generator in the Center for Writing Excellence, to cite the article in your response.
