Write My Essay For Me

Part 1: Identification of the article – What is important here is that you provide the reader with enough information about your article so that they will be able to locate it.

Part 2: Summary – List the main points that the author has tried to establish, i.e. 1, 2, 3 or first, second, third. There normally will be at least 6 to 8 main points. If you are summarizing a court case for example you should discuss: What provision of the law was at issue? Briefly state the facts of the case. What legal tests were applied? Were there any unusual elements in the case?

Part 3: Your critique – You are to provide your reaction (insightful, critical, and logical) to the points that the author tried to make, or an overall critique of the entire article. A simple statement of agreement or disagreement is not enough. While you may make such a statement by way of introduction to your reaction, you must clearly and logically state the reasons for the position that you have taken.

The article you select for this assignment should not be more than three years old, and should be at least three pages in length. You are encouraged to utilize the Research Database found in the CSU Online Library located in the Course Menu. This database will allow you to quickly search through thousands of journal articles.

The completed Article Critique should be a minimum of two pages and no more than four pages in length (typed double spaced, and excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices). The format for this assignment will follow APA style guidelines, and should be divided into three parts corresponding to the sections defined above (identification, summary, and critique).

To submit your completed assignment upload it using the “Article Critique” link located in Unit IV. Do not e-mail your paper directly to your professor. By uploading into Blackboard, your university record will automatically be updated to indicate you have submitted your paper and it will be provided to your professor for grading.
