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 influence one’s own individual research.
For this final assignment, read and critically review one of the journal articles listed below:
- “Experiences of Intimate Partner and Neighborhood Violence and Their Association With Mental Health in Pregnant Womenâ€Â (Links to an external site.)
- “An Investigation of the Influence of the Spatial Distribution of Neighborhood Violent Crime on Fear of Crimeâ€Â (Links to an external site.)
