Critical Review of Journal Article

Posted on | by

 

 

Write a short summary of the article. This will be your abstract and should occupy less than a page, double-spaced.

Write a list of issues that you need to cover in the paper, and then write a first draft. Be certain to state the research question(s) and/or hypothesis (hypotheses) if appropriate. Describe the research methods – how and where did the author collect and analyze these data? Describe the results? What did the author find? Briefly describe the importance of the results. Remember that the results should answer the research question(s)!

Edit to make sure that you’ve included everything and followed APA writing style. Here are the basic APA guidelines to edit:

 Eliminate wordiness.
 Use specific, concrete language.
 Use accurate language.
 Rely on paraphrasing rather than quoting too much.
 Check for spelling and typos.
 Ask someone else to read the paper to make sure that you’ve covered all the necessary points.
 Make sure that the paper looks the way that you want to present your work.

Components of the Critical Review

Title Page

Title area Use a clear and concise title.
Center the title, your name, name of institution on the page both horizontally and vertically (Word will do this automatically).

Running head On the top left side of the title page, type the words “Running head” and then the words that you’ll use to identify the topic of your work. Keep this brief. And don’t use your name. The “running head” appears only on your title page.

Header The “header” and a page number belong in the upper right hand corner of EVERY page after the title page. If you use Word, then open the View menu and click on Header. Type in the words to use and then click on the page number symbol. The “header” should include the first 2-3 main words of your title.

Abstract not needed for this assignment.

When used you would write a very short paragraph (150-200 words) to describe your topic, the main points of the body of the paper, and the paper’s conclusion(s). The Abstract should appear on its own page with the word “Abstract” centered at the top. Don’t indent the Abstract paragraph, but do double space.

Paper Contents

Your paper should include four sections: Introduction, Methods, Results (of data collection and analysis), Discussion/Conclusion.

Start a new page for the body of the paper. Don’t use the word “introduction” as a heading, but center your title on the first page of the body. Directly under the title of your paper on the first page, place a full bibliographic citation for the article so that your reader can see immediately what article you will critique. Use the appropriate headings for subsequent sections of the paper. The headings in this guide follow the APA style for headings in your papers.

The Introduction (remember not to use this heading) should include:
• a brief overview of the purpose, methodology, significant findings, and conclusions of the article,
• a sentence or two about the author(s) if that information is available with the article,
• a sentence about the intended audience of the article, and
• a comment on the impact of the article. If you feel ambitious, you could check for the article online and – if it’s available electronically – use the link: trick at Google to see whether other people have cited the article.

You should also talk briefly about the literature that this author includes or references as he presents his research. Does the discussion of literature tell you why the current research was necessary and where it belongs in the “big picture”? Further, can you find research questions and/or hypotheses clearly stated? And does the article define specialized terminology for the reader?

The Methods section should identify the research methodology used in the research and comment on whether the author clearly explained the method and any limitations to the design. You should comment on any description of the participants in the study and say whether the sample seems appropriate, and you should discuss the instrument(s) used to collect and to analyze the information.

The Results section should tell whether the author’s major findings appear clearly in the article and whether the results have answered the research questions. Does the author present supporting data? Are there clear tables and graphs?

Finally, the Discussion (or Conclusion) section should discuss whether the results of the research validate the author’s conclusions and recommendations? If there are differences between what the author expected to find and what he actually found, does the article explain those differences? Does the article offer suggestions for future research and – if so – what sort of research?

Complete your critique by offering your own personal judgment about the research in the article. Is the research timely and worthwhile? Are you aware of any significant omissions or errors in any stage of the research? Are the results original? Is the article clearly written and readable?

References
Remember that only sources from which you quote directly or paraphrase should appear in your reference list. Any background reading that you do should not appear on this list.

Analyze the readings and activities from the course so far and synthesize them into a well-organized and cohesive 4-6 page paper.

As a new doctoral learner, you will be asked to learn and apply many concepts that are new to you. To do this, you must be able to assess your own ability to admit, understand, acknowledge, and recognize your weaknesses, your strengths, what you know, what you do not know, and ways to fill these gaps. After doing this, you must be able to synthesize new information, incorporating it into your professional understanding and practice. In this assessment, you will analyze the readings and activities presented in this course and synthesize them into a well-organized and cohesive paper. You will articulate your understanding of the terms cognitive differentiation and cognitive integration. You will explore the relationship between organizational redesign and business model innovation. Finally, you will examine the concept of ontological humility and the effects of assumptions and biases on decision making.

In this assessment, you will analyze the readings and activities from this course and synthesize them into a well-organized and cohesive paper. Use the APA Paper Template [DOCX] to complete this assessment.

Part A: SIGHT PASSAGES (2 x 10 pts. = 20 pts.)

Discuss and closely analyse two of the eight passages below, being mindful of the breadth guidelines on page one. Please answer in full sentences. Use pertinent terms. In each answer, please do the following:

• Give a brief (1−3-sentence) summary / overview of the work in which the passage appears. You may want to include a succinct description of the characters who appear in the passage.
• Contextualize the passage within the work in which it appears. (Where does the passage appear: at the beginning, at the end, at a pivotal moment? What is the role or significance of this passage within the larger work?)
• Discuss the passage in terms of the text’s literary form and genre.
• Describe the writing style and manner of narration (if applicable).
• Discuss any themes and literary devices that may be present.
• Finally, make a connection between this passage / text and one other course text. (You may not compare it to another passage included in Part A)

Each answer should be two to three paragraphs long. This part tests 1) your knowledge of course texts and concepts, 2) your close reading skills, and 3) your ability to engage in comparative analysis.

Passage 1:

“Ha! ha! ha!—he! he! he!—a very good joke indeed—an excellent jest. We shall have many a rich laugh about it at the palazzo—he! he! he!—over our wine—he! he! he!” “The Amontillado!” I said.
“He! he! he!—he! he! he!—yes, the Amontillado. But is it not getting late? Will not they be awaiting us at the palazzo, the Lady Fortunato and the rest? Let us be gone.”
“Yes,” I said, “let us be gone.”
“For the love of God, Montresor!”
“Yes,” I said, “for the love of God!”
But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply. I grew impatient. I called aloud— “Fortunato!”
No answer. I called again—
“Fortunato—”
No answer still. I thrust a torch through the remaining aperture and let it fall within. There came forth in reply only a jingling of the bells. My heart grew sick on account of the dampness of the catacombs. I hastened to make an end of my labour. I forced the last stone into its position; I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!
Passage 2:

He tried not to cry. With his entrenching tool, which weighed 5 pounds, he began digging a hole in the earth.
He felt shame. He hated himself. He had loved Martha more than his men, and as a consequence Lavender was now dead, and this was something he would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of the war.
All he could do was dig. He used his entrenching tool like an ax, slashing, feeling both love and hate, and then later, when it was full dark, he sat at the bottom of his foxhole and wept. It went on for a long while. In part, he was grieving for Ted Lavender, but mostly it was for Martha, and for himself, because she belonged to another world, which was not quite real, and because she was a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey, a poet and a virgin and uninvolved, and because he realized she did not love him and never would.

Passage 3:

“But I thought that’s why we bought this house, so we wouldn’t have to do anything?”
“That’s just it. I feel like I don’t belong here. The house is wife and mother now and nursemaid. Can I compete with an African veldt? Can I give a bath and scrub the children as efficiently or quickly as the automatic scrub bath can? I can not. And it isn’t just me. It’s you.
You’ve been awfully nervous lately.”
“I suppose I have been smoking too much.”
“You look as if you didn’t know what to do with yourself in this house, either. You smoke a little more every morning and drink a little more every afternoon and need a little more sedative every night. You’re beginning to feel unnecessary too.”
“Am I?” He paused and tried to feel into himself to see what was really there.
“Oh, George!” She looked beyond him, at the nursery door. “Those lions can’t get out of there, can they?”
He looked at the door and saw it tremble as if something had jumped against it from the other side.
“Of course not,” he said.

Passage 4:

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise I rise.

Passage 5:

One face looks out from all his canvases,
One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans; We found her hidden just behind those screens, That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens, A saint, an angel — every canvas means The same one meaning, neither more or less.
He feeds upon her face by day and night,
And she with true kind eyes looks back on him, Fair as the moon and joyful as the light:
Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim; Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright; Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
Passage 6:

GWENDOLEN: I am engaged to Mr. Worthing, mamma.

[They rise together.]

LADY BRACKNELL: Pardon me, you are not engaged to anyone. When you do become engaged to someone, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself. … And now I have a few questions to put to you, Mr. Worthing. While I am making these inquiries, you, Gwendolyn, will wait for me below in the carriage.
GWENDOLEN: [Reproachfully.] Mamma!
LADY BRACKNELL: In the carriage, Gwendolen! [GWENDOLEN goes to the door. She and
Jack blow kisses to each other behind LADY BRACKNELL’s back. LADY BRACKNELL looks vaguely about as if she could not understand what the noise was. Finally turns around.] Gwendolen, the carriage!
GWENDOLEN: Yes, mamma. [Goes out, looking back at JACK.]
LADY BRACKNELL: [Sitting down.] You can take a seat, Mr. Worthing.

[Looks in her pocket for notebook and pencil.]

JACK: Thank you, Lady Bracknell, I prefer standing.
LADY BRACKNELL: [Pencil and notebook in hand.] I feel bound to tell you that you are not down on my list of eligible young men, although I have the same list as the dear Duchess of Bolton has. We work together, in fact. However, I am quite ready to enter your name, should your answers be what a really affectionate mother requires. Do you smoke?
JACK: Well, yes, I must admit I smoke.
LADY BRACKNELL: I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is.
Passage 7:

Make me thy lyre, ev’n as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own! The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
Will take from both a deep autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, My spirit! be thou me, impetuous one!
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like wither’d leaves, to quicken a new birth; And, by the incantation of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguish’d hearth Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawaken’d earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Passage 8:

AKILAH I just believed, I really believed that we could do this. We could do this freedom thing through art and passion and…
BEVERLY …and then what happened?
AKILAH And then reality. My son was born and the stakes were raised and I was suddenly alone, in charge of this little life… and then Kathleen flec the country and Kennedy fled the country and Stokely fled the country and LeRoi was arrested and Anglea was arrested and Assata was arrested and Afeni was arrested and Leonard was arrested and Rap was arrested and Huey was arrested and Rosie was arrested and Anne was arrested and Lumumba was killed and Medgar was killed and Malcolm was killed and King was killed and Jonathan was killed and Fred was killed and George was killed… and I was still here… with my words all dried up. I guess that was the time it stopped being beautiful.
BEVERLY Damn,
AKILAH Yeah. Anyway. It doesn’t matter. There’s work to do and it has to get done. Ten, twenty years from now, Josiah can’t be sitting in meetings still talking about racist school systems and trigger-happy police.
BEVERLY
Yeah but… what about the love?

Silence.
What about the passion? The art? You still need those things. Your son needs to know about those things too, right?

Part B: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ESSAY (10 pts.)

Write an essay that responds to one of the six essay prompts below. The essay should have a clear thesis and structure. Your argument must consider similarities and differences between the texts (and why they matter). Please support your claims with textual evidence (quotations) and explanations. Use in-text citations. Handle quotations and titles according to MLA guidelines. A Works Cited page is not required. External research is not required. Use and define pertinent course terms. (You are welcome to cite the course glossary.)

You may write about any course texts, but please keep in mind the breadth guidelines on page one of the test. There must also be a clear basis for comparing the texts (that is, you must establish a compelling point of similarity, while also explaining at least one interesting difference between the texts.)

Your essay must be four to five paragraphs in length. This part tests 1) your knowledge of course texts and concepts, 2) your essay writing skills, including your ability to articulate and support a thesis and handle quotations, 3) and your ability to engage in comparative analysis.

Prompts:

1. Compare and contrast two poems OR the two plays on the course. How do the writers use poetic or dramatic elements to develop their most important themes?

2. Devise and support an argument about the representation and role of a main character in two course texts. How are the characters depicted? What is their function in the respective works?

3. Discuss two works that belong to the same literary genre. How do the writers use conventions of the genre and to what effect?

4. When it comes to works of literature, beginnings matter. Discuss the beginnings of two course texts. How do the works begin? How do the openings prepare the readers for what is to come?

5. Cuddon defines conflict as “[t]he tension in a situation between characters, or the actual opposition between characters.” Cuddon adds that conflict “may also occur between a character and society or environment.” Focusing on conflict between characters and/or characters’ conflicts with social obstacles, discuss the representation and role of conflict in two course texts.

6. Time and place. Many literary works are shaped by their setting. Discuss two texts in which the setting is central. How do these settings shape the narrative of these literary works? How does the setting affect the characters, their conflicts, and the reader?*

 

 

 

The (5th edition) of “The Yellow Wallpaper”

Posted on | by

 

 

It begins with “He is very careful and loving . . .” and end with “he hates to have me write a word.” (These paragraphs are found on pages 307 and 314 in the 6th and 7th editions, respectively.) In this passage, the
narrator describes how her husband treats her and her feelings about her room. Both the descriptions of her husband and her room especially the wall paper indicate how the narrator is feeling emotionally. In a well organized essay, analyze how the narrator’s description of the setting is linked to both her emotional state and her feelings about her husband. Consider such literary elements as imagery, tone, and point of view.

The article posted below is an excellent example of ANOVA as well as the use of an index comprised of
several variables. The index used is the Index of African Governance, alsoAdd New known as the Ibrahim Index of
African Governance (IIAG) and the Youtube video (also posted below) gives a good explanation of this index.
Your assignment is to review both the article and the Youtube video and then use a similar approach to create
a mini-index of two of the pillars of public administration. The pillars that we discuss in public administration are
constructs or concepts that may mean different things to different people. If you are to use them in research
you need to define them in a way that they can be operationalized. Your conceptual definitions should have at
least three dimensions that can be operationalized (measured), and at least one of your indices should be
informed by a Christian worldview.
