Discuss about the STD consequences of adolescent virginity pledges.
For the second assignment students are individually responsible for writing a practice summary of an academic research article. This summary must be a minimum of 1,500 words, including a title page and reference page. APA formatted is required! This assignment is worth 25% of your final grade.
During the first week, each student will pick one article from a group of six. After the article has been assigned, each student will write an article summary (all articles are available on the course website). You may not use any other articles or sources. The articles you may choose from are as follows:
MY ARTICLE CHOICE***:
-After the Promise: The STD Consequences of Adolescent Virginity Pledges
For this practice article summary, it is important for students not to inject their personal opinions or ideas, using value-free language and remaining as impartial and objective as possible. Avoid focusing on charts or illustrations, and instead focus on summarizing the authors ideas, research question, hypothesis, methodology, results, and discussion. Examples of article summaries and writing suggestions will be provided to you.
Avoid long quotes in your summary, and paraphrase whenever possible, citing the authors last name and year of the publication. Do not cite secondary sources from your reading!
Maximum quotes = 2 short quotes (less than 40 words each).
Correct APA formatting is also required double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1 inch margins all around, APA in-text citations, running header, title page, and a reference page. Run spelling and grammar checks and double-check your APA formatting. Be sure to CITE your sources throughout the summary.

Extra Notes:
Please write in a way that is non-suspicious whatsoever. I am requesting a well-written summary with APA formatting, but I do not want the specific style to not be an obvious, dead-giveaway.
-Side Notte: I MAY need a rough draft of the paper later on, so please have one saved and ready just in case I may request it.
Thank you in advance for your time, efficiency, and thoughtful consideration in this matter.
