EDUC 111: Exploring Teaching as a Profession

This guide connects students with resources needed to complete EDUC journal review assignments.

Identifying Features

Choosing Articles

Here are some guidelines to refer to when choosing articles for your EDUC 111 assignment:

DO use an article on your topic if:

  • It comes from the list of publications in this guide. 
  • The article fulfills any recommendations your instructor has about length. 
  • The language is simple and straightforward. Some professional jargon is OK.
  • It is written by an expert or professional in the field of education. 

DON'T use an article if:

  • It is incredibly long (10+ pages).
  • It is split into sections (Intro, Background, Methods, etc).
  • It contains data, original research, and many charts.


REMEMBER these are just guidelines, not hard and fast rules! If you're not sure if an article you've found is the correct type, you can ask a librarian or your instructor for help.
