Article Critique

Unit VIII Article Critique Utilize the research databases at the CSU Online Library and select two peer-reviewed, scholarly articles. The first article should be related to the topic of Chapter 13: Creating Vision and Strategic Direction. The second article should be on the topic of Chapter 15: Leading Change. Be sure that the articles relate to this course material. As you prepare your article critiques, follow the instructions below. If possible, search for articles that have been published within the last five years. To locate scholarly articles on these topic, you will want to access the CSU Online Library database of your choice and utilize the advanced search option to search for a peer-reviewed, scholarly article. You may want to begin your search by experimenting with the keywords. Below are a few examples of key words:  Leadership  Vision or leadership  Change  Human resources (HR)  Planning  Recruiting Include both of your critiques in one APA-formatted document. Identify your author and title as part of the introduction to your topic; this should not be considered a reference for the article. Here is an example: In reading "The Wayward Cat" by Dr. Seuss, I was intrigued by the way the author addressed…” Begin with an introduction that defines the subject of your critique and the author’s point of view. Defend your point of view by raising specific issues or aspects of the argument. Conclude each critique by summarizing your argument and re-emphasizing your opinion.  You will first need to identify and explain the author's ideas. Include specific passages that support your description of the author's point of view.  Offer your own opinion. Explain what you think about the argument. Describe several points with that you agree or disagree with.  For each of the points you mention, include specific passages from the articles (you may summarize, quote, or paraphrase) that provide evidence for your point of view.  Explain how the passages from the articles support your opinion. Please format the critiques in the following manner: Title Page “Title of Article 1” Critique (use bold type for the title) Body of the Critique/Summary “Title of Article 2” Critique (use bold type for the title) Body of the Critique/Summary References Be sure to put the title of the article in bold for your heading to help your reader distinguish between the two critiques. Complete both critiques in one document for a paper totaling four pages in length (not including title and reference pages). Your document should be in APA style.
