Final: Article Critique PowerPoint Presentation

For this assignment you will choose an article from a scientific publication of your preference. Use the two articles we have discussed in class as a guide for style and length so that you have plenty of material to critique. Pick something that interests you, or that you would like to learn about. This will help you in formulating opinions and reactions.

ASSIGNMENT: (WORTH 75 POINTS)

Ideally, each component of this rubric would be its own slide. However, if you want to condense a couple of points into one slide that is acceptable. Just dont overcrowd the slide with text. (Think bullet points and short sentences)

Read the assigned article to identify and state the following: (5 Points Each)

· Title and Author(s)

· Citation for the Article (Use MLA Format)

· Research Question

· Hypothesis

· Methods

· Results

Once you have read the article state 5 critiques of the work. (5 Points Each) These could be in the methods, the experiment design, conflict of interest, funding, etc. Think critically. What about this article would make you doubt the results?

Finally, in your own words, summarize the findings of the research. (10 Points) Use this summary to support your reaction to the article. (5 Points)

Some prompting questions to help you develop your reaction could be (but arent limited to):

· After reading this article would I use this product?

· How does this article effect my life? My familys lives?

· Is this an area of science that needs more research?

· If this is a subject that is controversial, what is your opinion after reading the article?

· Is this a political talking point? Are there candidates that have made this issue a focus for them?

Once you have completed the PowerPoint, post it with the narration in the notes of the presentation. (Hint: A good way to effectively narrate a presentation is to think of your notes section as a mini term paper, broken up over several sections.) Your classmates should be able to read your narration, in concert with the material on the slides, to understand the paper. If I couldnt read the article, how would you explain it to me?
