Read one qualitative research study approximately every week per the syllabus; outline a brief critique (approximately 1⁄2 page, typed, outline form) based on
criteria discussed over the course of the semester. You will find that your criteria for critique will be quite
subjective at first; however, as we move along through the semester, your critiques will become more specific. Use your outline as a guide for class
discussion. The critique should include the following items:
Author last name, brief title
Research question(s)
Rationale for qualitative research
Paradigm(s) guiding the research
Research design (specific methodological approach)
Data-gathering strategies
Data analysis methods
Strongest points
Weakest points
