Assignment: Write a Critical Review of an Article (1-2 pages)
For this assignment, you will choose an article pertinent to your research topic and write a review of it. You will not be re-writing it; rather, you will “de-construct” the article for the reader, analyzing the claims that the author is making and how well he supports those claims. You will also explain how this article fits into your research strategy to answer your research question. Does it provide some insights but still leave you wondering?
The submission will be graded based on the following rubric:
What claims does the author make? (20 pts)
How well are the claims supported (facts and reasoning)? (20 pts)
How does the article fit into your research strategy? (20 pts)
Does the article support you in developing an answer about your research question? (20 pts)
Did you gain insight? Leave you wondering? Or both? (20 pts)
