Critique Instructions


Throughout the course we will be reading and discussing articles from general science journals (e.g., Science and Nature) and excerpts from various books. To facilitate our discussion of these readings, you will provide a brief (two pages DOUBLE SPACED) critique of each set of papers that will be assigned for discussion. The critique should include (i) a brief statement of the salient point(s) of the papers, (ii) a discussion of potential problems/uncertainties with the arguments presented in the papers, and (iii) a discussion of the ramifications/implications of the papers, and (iv) any important issues that remain confusing to you.

Note that some of the readings will not inspire you to write about all four issues, (i)-(iv). That is ok.
