I do a similar assignment in my developmental psychology courses, in which
students write a letter making research-based policy recommendations to some
policymaker at the local, state, or national level. The assignment is based
on a recent article in TIPS.

I continue to be amazed (five years into teaching) by some of the things our
students come to us having been taught. I had a student in a master's level
developmental psych class who thought that the best way to summarize an
article was not to rephrase each sentence, but to use a series of quotes
