Remember that this is a “critique” and not a summary. Many students make the error of citing the information regarding sampling, design or statistics, straight from the article. The purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts in the reading as translated to the critique assignment. You will lose points in each section if it is not properly critiqued. Check your text thoroughly and follow the guidelines set out in each appropriate chapter. Most chapters have a table that summarized the information required to critique that section. Additionally, your paper must consist of your own original critique, and not a series of direct quotes. Simply writing down direct quotes is not a critique. This should be a critique written in your own words!
