Some tips for success:
1. For this assignment, you should read the article that is assigned in your section. The article can be found immediately under the link for this assignment. You will use the same article for Article critiques 1-5. Therefore, you will read the same article multiple times throughout the semester.
2. You must use APA format for this assignment. Review the syllabus for information regarding formatting, grammar, and spelling.
3. You should not use personal pronouns. Avoid statements such as, “I believe,” “I think,” “In my opinion.” Instead you should refer to the obtained data. You will lose .25 points each time one of these phrases is used.
4. When asked, you must support your rationale using a citation from the textbook. Failure to do so results in a 50% point deduction per item. Simply providing a citation is inadequate. You must use the content to support your response. See #5.
5. Each question has a different point value and is graded based on accuracy (i.e., are you correct and did you follow the instructions), completion (i.e., did you answer all parts of the question), and APA format/grammar. See this document
