Students must use the two assigned articles. Provide an overall summary of each article and then compare how the two articles relate to each other. Importantly, include a more detailed narrative description of the assigned table/figure from each article. The narrative must provide sufficient explanation in order to show an understanding of the content of the table/figure without presenting the table/figure or a portions of the table/figure in the body of the report.

In a reference section, include the title of the article, authors, and journal information as above (Articles must come from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
In the text narrative, focus on describing at least one specific table/figure from each of the 2 pre-assigned articles
• Explicitly identify which table/figure is being described in your report
• Provide an overview of the selected table/figure
• Describe how the table/figure is relevant to the results of the research findings
• Include a comparison of the common themes and similarities/differences associated with the 2 pre-assigned articles
• Identify why the selected additional American Journal of Clinical Nutrition article is relevant to the report
• Provide a summary conclusion of your understanding about what you learned from all the source information
• Text length of more than 3 but fewer than 5 full pages
• Proper format includes double spacing, a font size no larger than 12 point, margins no greater than 1 inch, and an absence of pictures/graphs/tables
