Being critical
In everyday life: it means being negative BUT
In writing: means seeing both sides of the argument (proving evidence for
and against the idea)
You need to identify different positions in the debate and provide evidence
for each side. You need to question what you read and look deeper into it
(not taking things at face value or making assumptions)
Critical means…
…providing clearly justified
reasoned judgements about what you
have read and are now writing about.
Look for weaknesses in the work you are reading e.g. in the
design, how findings are reported, limitations, areas for further
research
