CIP Article Review Sheet
Choose a scholarly article from your approved CIP working bibliography list. Read the article. Ensure that the
article truly fits with your topic. If you find that it does not fit, choose another article from your list and
review it instead. Once you have read an article that appropriately fits with your CIP topic, complete the
handout below (typed or neatly printed), and submit a hard copy at the beginning of class on the due date.
After the beginning of class, 10 points will be deducted for each day late.
This assignment should be completed in your own words. There should be no direct quotes. Instead, you should
paraphrase the material. It is your responsibility to avoid plagiarism while completing this assignment. If you
have questions about what constitutes plagiarism, consult the syllabus for this course and the tutorial on
plagiarism offered by the UWF library.
1. What is your working CIP topic?
2. In the space below, provide the reference for your article in APA style (6th Edition). If you need assistance,
view the examples in the "CIP Examples of References" located on the course blog under CIP Essentials,
consult an APA manual from the library, or visit www.apastyle.com. (It is not recommended that you use a
computer program that automatically generates APA style. These programs are often incorrect.)

the article, but do provide--in your own words--five examples to show me that there was worthy information
in this article for your presentation.)
