Description
Summarize, and interpret the significance of, an argument or result of a study presented in an academic or scholarly publication.
To do so, you will first need to identify an appropriate study that fits the above criteria, familiarize yourself with the findings or argument, and ultimately summarize that argument in a way that is understandable and compelling for a college-educated reader interested in the subject.
Note that this only requires you to read and report on a single study, but most studies will also provide a brief literature review that presents where the research fits within the existing literature and why it is important.
Below are links to two examples to give you an idea of what this would look like.
A Vox Blog on Polarization and Social Media:
