I do not understand the assignment for the Article Critique...do we pick an article for something that is Workplace Security related?
ANSWER: Yes, pick and article pertaining that pertains to any topic covered in Units 1-4. Check the announcement I placed in the course for some helpful hints.
Here are a few pointers to assist you with the Unit IV Article Critique:
Review the assignment instructions. Note the step 1, 2, and 3 organization for your paper. This assignment is not a research paper so do not write one. You only need to locate one source, which should be a current (not more than 5 years old) scholarly article. CSU's Library can be accessed for articles and the Library staff will be happy to assist you with locating a suitable article. You may also use Google Scholar search.
An abstract is not required. A title page and reference page are required. APA writing style guidelines are required, i.e. headers and page number at the top of each page, margins set to one inch, double space text, use Times New Roman (12 pt.) font for all text, citations with matching references. The parts of your critique will include an (1) introduction paragraph with your thesis statement and location of your article, (2) summary of your article, and (3) your critique of the article.
As for APA, CSU requires the use of APA. You have several sources to assist you with APA. You may also contact the Student Success Centerfor assistance. Take advantage of the resources available to you.
Feel free to get an early start on this assignment. It is not a difficult assignment and even if you have not used APA previously, you have everything you need to comply with APA standards.
