Summarize the article’s thesis and main points in one or two paragraphs, at maximum.
Critically evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the article.
Evaluate the significance of the sources, including whether they are primary or secondary sources.
Provide examples of either the presence of bias or lack of bias evidenced by the authors.
Critique (as defined in Chapter 5) the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article. In your critique, consider whether or not the authors persuaded you with their viewpoints.
Using source “treeing,” as described in Chapter 4.1 of your text, find two related scholarly articles and explain how the articles you found could be used to support or contradict the premise and findings of the article being critiqued.
The paper must be three to four pages in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources, which includes the article you are reviewing, two articles that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page.
