HW# 3 Article Review Assignment

For the article, prepare a critical review which addresses the following:

1. Summarize the article in your own words (main purpose of the research, results, and conclusions). This should take between half a page and a page (maximum).

2. Was the question that the research was trying to answer significant? Why or why not?

3. Was the method used to answer the question seem valid? Why or why not?

4. Were the results what you would have expected, or were they surprising? Why?

5. What additional research related to this topic should be conducted?

6. What were the strengths of the article, and what were its weaknesses?

7. How does the article relate to what we have studied in class?

8. If you could ask the author one question about the article, what would it be?

To receive full credit, you must address all 8 questions. In answering the questions, I expect you to think critically about the article and provide your own thoughts and opinions, based on what we have learned in class and what you may have learned in other classes. The quality and insightfulness of comments will be considered in grading.

Article review should be 3 to 5 pages (single spaced, 12-point Times Roman font, 1” margins).

Late assignments policy included in the syllabus will be applied. Students are expected to review the late submission policy in advance.
