Anonymous Grading

Anonymous grading is currently turned on for this assignment. To remain anonymous, do not include your name or other identifying information in your assignment submission.

2. Select one of the papers below and write a critical essay about the method used in this article. Use peer-reviewed articles to compare and contrast your critical analysis. Cite accordingly and avoid long — and verbatim — quotes; instead, restate what you have read in your own words (once you feel comfortable that you have grasped the accurate meaning of the original document). And always remember: it is you, your essay — your idea — that comes first. You gain points for using the literature to strengthen your own/original argument, not the other way around.
