Assignment Instructions

For this assignment—in which for practice purposes, you will evaluate all of the decisions, assumptions, and arguments the researchers made—you will put together your own complete set of questions to use in interrogating research articles.

Part I

Review the resources above and put together a list of questions and strategies you will use to critically read research articles for your dissertation.

Length: 1-2 pages

Part II

Apply the list of questions and strategies you developed in Part I to two articles describing research that contributes to theory in your topic area. Choose short articles (fewer than 10 pages) if possible. Submit your analysis of both articles in a single brief paper. Send your Instructor the articles or links to them. You may organize the paper simply as answers to your Part I questions. Follow APA style only for the reference list.

Length: 3-5 pages not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.
