You will need to structure your critique as an essay and make a case for and/or against the strength of the article and critique the content and methods. In order to do this, you need to engage with other academic literature to support your claims (i.e. find other articles supporting claims you make and reference them appropriately in the text).
Details: You are expected to comment on the paper, explain the central argument, what evidence is presented to back it up and how the authors are evaluating that evidence. Your critique needs to present the main argument, with two or three main discussion points and use the wider literature to support these.

Please choose one of the two papers below for your assignment – please mention the paper you chose at the top of the document you will upload.
whilst offering critical assessment of the arguments put forward. However, when summarising what the book or article covers only the main
themes should be highlighted and not an exact summary of each chapter or section. The review should highlight where the book or article fits
within the broader literature on the subject.
The review should also highlight what the author is attempting to achieve and in what academic context it is written. This allows the reviewer
to then critically assess whether the author has reached this goal, which is one of the key aspects of the review and should be supported
through examples from the book or article. The strengths and weaknesses of the book or article should be critically assessed, connected to
what the book or article set out to achieve.
The review should be referenced, particularly when quoting, and it is expected that you contextualise the book or article through additional
literature.
