    Article selection tips:

    –          select an article from a peer-reviewed Sociology Journal

    –          the article should clearly be written about a study the author conducted

    o   a meta-analysis of multiple studies is not appropriate for this assignment

    o   secondary data analysis of an existing national data set is OK, but be sure you understand what you are reading
