ASSIGNMENT 1
REVIEWING RESEARCH AND
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Due Week 4: 122 points
You’ve learned about the importance of research and the steps
of the sociological research process. For your first assignment,
you will begin to work with this process by carefully reviewing an
article about a research study. The goal is to have you analyze
the article to see how the steps of the research process informed
the research presented in the piece. This assignment will also
encourage you to make connections between the research and
your own life.
To analyze your article, follow the Ask, Research, Learn, Do
process that is outlined below. This process was introduced in
your webtext as a simplified version of the sociological research
process. It’s a useful tool to help you think critically, answer
questions, and solve problems.
Instructions: Complete both parts of the assignment by following
the instructions below.

paragraphs, one for each step listed in bold. Refer to
Chapter 2 of the webtext as necessary.
a) Ask:

answered by the information in the article?

collect data.
c) Learn:

research?
d) Do:
•• What follow-up question would you now like
to ask and research based on this article?
•• Why did you choose this follow-up question?
PART B: MAKE CONNECTIONS
1) Use your article review to help answer the questions
below. You should write two paragraphs, one for each
question.
a) How can you apply the key research findings to
your own life?
b) What are two additional questions that you have
about society based on this research?
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
