ASSIGNMENT

For this assignment, you will need to compare and contrast two instructor selected ergonomic research articles. In this assignment, students should read both articles and construct a comparison brief which provides a synopsis of the articles to inform the reader of the following items (not limited to but must include):

• The problem/issue the research strives to address
• The population of interest and location of the study

You are asked to construct a comparison brief consisting of 4 ordered sections including: (1) abstract, (2) introduction, (3) body, and (4) conclusions. Your submission should consist of 7-8 total pages. These include: 1 title page, 1 abstract page, a 4-5 page comparison brief, and 1 reference page. You are not required to describe statistical tests in detail.

Compare and contrast the articles as appropriate.
