Students will select three articles on their topic of interest for this course, and write a two page article critique on each article

Students will select three articles on their topic of interest for this course, and write a two page article critique on each article (in the critique you should discuss methodological elements such as research design, hypothesis and variables, sampling, measurement, and data collection with details) Following the three critiques, you should include a 2 page summary of new learning from the articles, and compare/contrast the methodology elements from the articles reviewed with details. Class terminology should be used throughout the summary section when discussing the articles). The critiques should be integrated into one assignment with a cover page. Each article critique should begin with the APA reference listing at the top, followed by a ½ page succinct summary of the paper. This must be in your own words, and not copied from the article or the abstract. Copying will result in a 0 and a referral for academic dishonesty. Following the summary, the following should be discussed and critiqued: research question/hypothesis, ethics, variables, design, recruitment and sampling, and data collection. The critique should discuss, using class terminology, each method for the article, and the strengths and weaknesses of that method.
