Article Critique

In the first half of the critique (objective analysis): 

• Are the title and abstract representative of the article?
• Is the purpose of the article clear in the introduction?
• Is all of the discussion relevant?
• Have any ideas been over- or underemphasized in your opinion? What revisions would you suggest?
• Should some sections of the manuscript be elaborated on, condensed, or omitted?
• Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
• What underlying assumptions does the author have?
• Does the author or do the authors appear objective in the writing and discussion of the article?

In the second half of the critique (subjective analysis): 

• Why did you select this article to critique? What interested you about it?
• After reading the article, what did you like and dislike about it?
• Based on your understanding to date, what is the possible practical applicability of the article?

Make sure you fully address each area of the rubric in your analysis.
