Select two readings from the required textbook that are not prompted within the online course materials. $($Note that a full list of the required course readings are found in the $$About of Course$$ section of the course.$)$ Write an article review for each reading you have selected. Any reading from the text that has not been assigned in the course is available to choose from.

An article review is both a summary and a critique of a writer$$s work. Article reviews will introduce you to the process of evaluating the work of experts in the field. Experts are often called on to evaluate the work of their colleagues. This is what is referred to as peer review. Peer review is a critical phase in valid knowledge creation. It involves investigating methodology, sources, and findings. It evaluates the legitimacy of the work.

You will be required to address the following:

Provide a summary of main themes

Supporting arguments

Methodology $($what evidence was used to reach their conclusions$)$

Implications for further research

Weaknesses or limitations

Conclusion and recommendations for improvement

This is not an assignment that requires you to spend time agreeing or disagreeing on the subject, but rather discussing the article$$s method, evidence, and findings. Social issues and arguments presented in the subject matter, although important, are not your focus.
