Critique the Article The critique should be a balanced discussion and evaluation of the strengths, weaknesses, and notable features of the text. 0 Remember to base your discussion on specific criteria. Good reviews also include other sources to support the evaluation (remember to reference). You can choose how to sequence your critique. Here are some examples to get you started: Most important to least important conclusions you make about the text. If your critique is more positive than negative, then present the negative points first and positive last. If your critique is more negative than positive, then present the positive points first and negative last. If there are both strengths and weaknesses for each criterion you use, you need to decide what your judgement is overall. For example, you may want to comment on a key idea in the text and have both positive and negative comments. You could begin by stating what is good about the idea, and then concede and explain how it is limited in some way. While this example shows a mixed evaluation, overall you are probably being more negative than positive. In long reviews, you can address each criterion you choose in a paragraph, including both negative and positive points. For very short critical reviews (one page or less) where your comments will be briefer, include a paragraph of positive aspects and another of negative. You can also include recommendations used in the critique section on how the text can be improved in terms of ideas, research approach, theories, or frameworks
