Reasoned Action Theory Assignment
A good summary accurately describes the main points and important details of a text. In order to be accurate and concise, the writer must be thoroughly familiar with the original work. If too long, a summary may be paraphrasing the original word, but if it’s too short, important details may be left out. In this assignment, you must write a chapter summary of the assigned chapter between 800 – 1000 words using APA style (7th ed.).Read and reread the chapter as many times as necessary to gain a full understanding of it. No first personal statements allowed. Opinions are not needed here. For example, “I thought the part about radioactivity was really interesting.”Always name the author and chapter title in the introductory paragraph, usually in the first or second sentence. From then on, refer to the author by the last name. Always use the present tense to discuss the chapter. Use direct quotes or paraphrase examples to support claims.To successfully write for your summary, use as guidelines the questions Q1, Q2, Q4, Q Q12 and Q15 available in your course textbook between pp. 238-239Submit your response by typing it in a Microsoft Word document and attaching it to the submission link. Make sure to write down your full name. The Reasoned Action Theory (RAT) is due by 11:59 p.m. (EST) on Sunday of Module / Week
