Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the University of Guelph Library’s resource Using a Scientific
Journal Article to Write a Critical Review (Links to an external site.) and watch the Final Paper video to
understand how to successfully complete this assignment.
Reading and critically analyzing academic research in journal articles is an important part of learning and
applying scholarly research for multiple applications within your discipline. The first four weeks of this course
discussed the various components of research design. Your final assignment is an academic research-article
critique. The purpose of this critique is to ensure that you know how to read and critically assess research for
use in your own research, understand social problems in society, support decision making in public policy, or to
influence one’s own individual research.
