books and book reviews are just a few of the types of materials that not
acceptable for this exercise. You must look for articles from reputable
peer-reviewed journals.

After reading the articles, select
the 1 article that you wish to summarize. Your thread should be in APA format,
use the following headings, and include the information listed below in the
following format and be posted directly in the discussion board:
·
Definition: a brief definition of the key term; this does not count in
the word requirement. The definition
must be cited to the source.
·
Summary: Choose 1 of the articles and clearly summarize it in your
own words. This must be 150 word minimum. While the majority of the summary
should be focused on the article, be sure to note the article’s author as well
as his/her credentials. This information should be clearly cited.
·
Discussion: Using a minimum of 400 words, write a brief discussion in
your own words of how the article relates to the selected concept. The
discussion should include input from BOTH ARTICLES chosen for the key
concept. Some discussion could include
whether the articles agree or disagree; recommendations in the articles for
integration in the workplace, etc.
· Biblical
Integration: You must integrate your key term
with a biblical truth. Integration of biblical truth is not simply listing a
Bible verse but connecting the Scripture to the concept being covered. This
section must be a minimum of 100 words.
·
References: All references must be listed at the bottom of the thread in
current APA format.
Be sure to
use the headers (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Biblical Integration,
References) in your thread to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are
completed as required. Use 3rd
person.
