The first article is provided in the assignment. The second article is to be chosen from one of those provided in the articles folder. Each review should be 3-4 pages in length (not including title and reference pages). Q: What is a critical review? A: The word “critical” does not mean to criticize negatively, but rather to thoughtfully evaluate the quality of the paper. Structure of a Critical Review The review will include an introduction, summary, evaluation, and conclusion. (plus title page and reference page) Introduction 1. Introduce the author(s), title, and topic of the article. 2. Make a brief statement about the purpose of the study and findings, or in the case of a conceptual/theoretical paper, the key arguments or propositions presented. Don’t go into detail here, you will do that in the summary 3. Make a very brief statement that “previews” your evaluation/critique of the article. Summary In this section, your goal is to convey the content of the article in a very concise and unbiased manner. There should not be any critique in the summary. To write an accurate summary, you must read and seek to fully comprehend the entire paper so that you may summarize in your own words (i.e., paraphrase) in a way that accurately reflects that which you have read. After reading the paper, reflect on its purpose, main points, and conclusions. Determining the main points of the article can sometimes be challenging. As you read, it may serve you well to create an outline of the article. Two very important guidelines are relevant to writing the summary. 1. Many of us were taught that paraphrasing involves rearranging or replacing a few words from the source text so that you make the same statement using slightly different words. This is in fact, NOT proper paraphrasing. This is inadequate and is actually a form of plagiarism. Please see the APA publication manual for guidance on paraphrasing and avoiding plagiarism. 2. Also, as a rule, you should avoid using word for word passages from the source text. This rule can occasionally be broken when the author has made a statement in such a way that to paraphrase would substantially lower its impact. Any word for word passage should be put in quotation marks, of course. Evaluation Think of this section as the critique. This will be the longest section of your paper. Here, you’ll discuss strengths, weaknesses, and the most notable, interesting, or controversial points. Your discussion should be well reasoned and not simple opinion with nothing to back it up. It is also better to avoid statements such as “I believe,” “I think,” and “Personally…” You may certainly believe something to be true and of course you have an opinion, however it is better not to use an “I believe” statement.
