A Major Article

Due: Oct. 1

Find an article about applications of computers in your major area. If you have not declared a major, choose one you may be interested in. Read the article and write a summary. Your summary should be one to one and a half pages, double-spaced. Do use a word processor, and avail yourself of the spell checker. Your summary must contain a citation of the article summarized sufficient that the reader can find it easily.

You may choose a printed article from any serious publication. (This generally excludes those which routinely discuss Elvis sightings.) If in doubt, ask your instructor. Chose an article which is at least one printed page in length. You may not use a software manual.

Online articles are generally allowed, but you should have them approved first; feel free to email a link to Dr. Bennet to ask. The length of an on-line article should be comparable to the one-page requirement for printed articles.

Hand in a copy of your article with your summary.

Please write your own summary. There's already a lab exercise for finding things on the Internet.
