Explain An Article From A Field Other Than Communication/Mass Communication.

Each student will select an article from a field other than communication/mass communication, and
will write a report that states what are the

(a) concepts at the center of the study,

(b) theory that incorporates the concepts (and, perhaps, other concepts), and

(c) related paradigm that overarches the concept and the theory (and, even, others). The student will provide a paraphrased definition of the concepts that draws on material inside and outside the article, paraphrased statement of the theory that draws from material inside and outside the article, paraphrased statement of the paradigm that draws from inside and outside the article, a critique of the concept, the theory and the
paradigm that considers how much each of them meets at least one criterion for the evaluation of theories Littlejohn and Foss and Oetzel propose, and from the critique, the statement of an original question or concern or imperative.
