QRS3
Q stands for Questions. These are questions that occur to you when you’re reading the research article. You should write these questions down as they arise. Do not provide answers to them in this assignment.
R represents Reaction. This is your emotional response to the reading. Did you like it or dislike it? Was it confusing or easy to understand? There is a documented link between emotion and memory. Thus, by thinking about your emotional reaction to the research article you are promoting retention of the information.
S signifies Summary. You will write a brief summary of what you think are the most important points for you to acquire upon reading the research article. What is the takeaway? What did the author(s) hope you would learn from reading the article?
For each QRS Writing Assignment, you will start by reading the assigned research article. You will likely need to read the article more than one time to fully comprehend it. Then, you will identify questions that occur to you while reading the article. Then, you will prepare an emotional reaction to the research article. Lastly, you will prepare a brief, but thorough summary of what you think are the most important points of the research article.
All parts of this assignment should be typed into a document that is no less than one page long, single-spaced, but no more than two pages long, single-spaced. The document should be well organized with 3 headings (questions, reaction, and summary). Take care to proofread your document for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clearly worded sentences. Upload document into Canvas as a PDF (no other format will be acceptable).
