PSYC 506 Research Foundations
Article Critiques Assignment

You will be given an article to critique that will be due the following week. Please review the
guidelines to understand the structure of the assignment and for ideas of what to look for as
you read the article critically. I want to both see that you are using the concepts you are
learning in the class, as well as learn about your thoughts about the study/research — that
means that you should include your OPINON of the article as well as critique of the methods.

Each critique is worth 5 points, which will be awarded for:

Area Points

Use of proper grammar, APA style

1

Accurate description of study, purpose,
hypothesis, methods, major conclusions

1

Well-thought out critique of limitations and
weaknesses as well as strengths of study

2

Clear explanation of your opinion 1

Total 5

Your critique should be 2 – 3 pages in length. Please stick to this page limit. If it is running
longer than 3 pages, you are probably too wordy or including irrelevant information.
