HOW TO WORK ON THIS ASSIGNMENT (EXAMPLE ESSAY / DRAFT)
Sure, here’s an example of how to answer these prompts for an article:
- Who wrote the article, and what is the topic? The article “The Effects of Social Media on College Students” was written by Sarah Smith and John Doe. The topic of the article is the impact of social media on the well-being of college students.
- What was their hypothesis or research question? The authors’ research question was: “What are the effects of social media on the mental health and academic performance of college students?”
- How was the study conducted? The authors conducted a survey of 500 college students, asking questions about their social media usage, mental health, and academic performance. They then analyzed the data to determine any correlations between social media use and mental health/academic outcomes.
- What were their results or findings? The authors found that higher levels of social media use were associated with increased anxiety and depression among college students. They also found that excessive social media use was linked to lower academic performance.
- What did the author(s) conclude, why does their study matter? The authors concluded that while social media can be a useful tool for connecting with others, it can also have negative effects on the well-being and academic performance of college students. Their study matters because it provides important insights into the ways that social media use can impact young adults, and highlights the need for further research and education on healthy social media habits.
