Find an article from journals and periodicals in the library or from electronic data base. Write a reaction paper based on your personal feelings and thoughts about the article. Instructions A reaction paper is your general response to information you have acquired through actual experience and/or written material. The paper should reflect your opinions regarding the experience and/or written material. Specifically, the reaction paper might address the following questions. 1. What did I learn from this experience/material? 2. What suggestions would I make, if any, regarding the experience/material to make it more worthwhile? 3. Do I agree or disagree with the author’s points of view? Why? 4. What further information or research may be needed? 5. How did the experience/materials change my viewpoint? 6. What else would I have liked to learn about the experience/material? 7. Did my feelings, attitudes, or beliefs change as a result of the experience/material? 8. Did I learn more about topics important to me? 9. Did I learn something I never knew or thought before? 10. Did I gain new or fresh insights into things I already knew? Writing Instructions 1. Each reaction paper should be 450 words double spaced using 12 font. There should be a cover page and a reference page for each paper. 2. I prefer research based articles or articles written by highly qualified authors. Newspapers or entertainment magazines written by journalists who quote research are not acceptable. 3. I am more interested in your thoughts and not a summary of the article. 4. The article should not be older than 3 years old. I am looking for current research since our textbook was published. 5. Grading will consist of the following: a. the quality of the article selected b. grammatical correctness of the writing c. the personal reaction content in the paper d. how well the student followed instructions
