Project description
Assignment: CHOOSE one of the articles posted on Blackboard and write an essay in your own words (do not copy sentences out of the paper) that critiques the article you have read for an audience of your Bodyworks classmates.

Be sure to begin by briefly summarizing the article. Next, analyze those aspects of the article that were clear or confusing to you. Conclude by speculating about broader implications and future directions of the research described in the article. A suggested plan for your
essay is shown below:

First 1-2 paragraphs: Summarize the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions as the authors have presented them. This section should reflect your understanding of the research presented in the article.

Next paragraph – the strengths of the article. Identify and characterize the useful features of the article. That is, what aspects of the article seemed particularly strong? Did you find a certain section of the article (for example, introduction, methods) to be particularly helpful?

Next paragraph – the weaknesses of the article. Identify and characterize the confusing aspects of the article. That is, did you find any weaknesses in the study? Was any particular section confusing to you? Why?

Last paragraph: Conclude your essay. Speculate about the broader implication of this research (for example, the results might represent breakthroughs, or the results could have far-reaching implications) and try to identify the future directions of this research (go ahead and be creative).
