Reports on reading
A good report will consist of a concise summary of the articles along with some evidence of critical thought. Your summary might briefly highlight the research question, method, results, and theoretical implications of the research, bearing in mind the limited space available. An illustration of critical thought could include, but is not limited to, a comparison of the two articles (what is similar about their approach, methods, conclusions, implications?); a discussion of the implications of the results or further hypotheses that could be made based on the results; any methodological limitations or strengths and weaknesses; suggestions for future studies; questions you may have, etc.
