Purpose

The purpose of this exercise is to give you more practice in summarising, paraphrasing and critically evaluating research conducted by others.

Instructions

Select one peer-reviewed research article published in an academic journal that is related to the topic of your dissertation or project. Peer-reviewed means that it is in an academic journal. The article can be one of your own choice based on your topic. Summarise and paraphrase the key argument and findings in the article to demonstrate your understanding. Critically evaluate the methodology, method or data analysis of the article. Be selective as you cannot discuss everything. You might consider the sample size and composition, the methods used, the conclusions derived from the analysis. You need to demonstrate an evaluative stance. Do not just describe but review the article and in particular its research in some way.
