    Default What are some thing sI should think about while writing a critique?

    I'm revising my analysis on a scholarly journal claiming teaching hunger based eating can prevent eating disorders, and have used too many quotes. I'm trying to fix this right now. However, I also have to write a critique on the same article when I'm done. What sorts o fthings should I look at when writing a critique on a study like this?

    From my limited background of this sort of thing, here are some things that came to mind:

    The bias or lack thereof of the study and/or the article based on it? Was it truly neutral? Duration (both of the study and of the results), sample size, consistency of results? Language clear and not trying to manipulate the results or the audience's emotional reaction? Recent, relevant data? Any blind spots that weren't addressed?

    On another note, isn't sad that I only recently (this past weekend) realized that I no longer have microsoft word on my compuer, so I have been revising my essay by saving it as a draft in my e-mail and changing and re-saving it as needed. I'm soooo lazy. I need to just install the damn thing already.

    You can always question definitions, assumptions, clarity and the description of sampling methods.

    If you can't find your MS Word product key, you can always download Open Office for free.
