Canada’s parliamentary system of responsible government allows for the possibility of minority governments. On balance, minority governments are [preferable/not preferable] to majority governments.

Notice that the way each topic is worded encourages you to take a definitive stand on the
issue in question. While it is of course possible to write a neutral paper on any of the candidate
topics listed, for the purposes of this paper you should present the strongest argument you
can either for or against the issue in question.
Importantly, this does not mean that you should ignore arguments in support of the opposite
position—presenting the strongest possible argument will require that you acknowledge and
respond to positions antithetical to your own. An excellent paper will both present arguments
in support of the position it defends as well as provide reasons that challenge the position(s)
it does not.
A more detailed grading rubric will be available within the next week or two.
The paper is to be 6-8 pages in length (double-spaced) and will be evaluated for clarity,
originality and argumentative acumen

Where do they disagree?
Do they cite the same experts? Can you find the original studies/sources they cite?
Which sources make the strongest arguments?
What limitations do you find in the sources?
Summarize and evaluate each source (at least five) to create an Annotated Bibliography (more about this on a separate assignment sheet).
1 Annotation is due in Journal 6, Week 7

Although experts do not always agree on whether Jane Austen should be considered a feminist, they do agree that her works present strong, female characters who display feminist qualities.
News sites and publishers often offer different perspectives about current events that contribute to extreme polarization of US citizens.
Body paragraphs that contain topic sentences and concrete supporting details from sources.
At least 5 sources must be used and cited
Provide context (background information) for your topic
Don’t just summarize your sources. Explain how the source supports your thesis.

Article Summary + Critique “Horses Categorize Human Emotions Cross-Modally Based on Facial Expression and Non-Verbal Vocalizations”

1.Include a Title Page and format everything APA. An example is included below. You do not need an abstract. You should include a Reference page that references your article and any other work you discuss in your summary. Do not include the entire reference in your paper text. Instead cite it as you would any other piece of literature. E.g., “Rubenstein and Alcock (2018) examined the effects of…” Use the headers below (Method, Results, Discussion, and Critique) to separate your sections.

Your summary will be graded on the extent to which you demonstrate (1) a clear understanding of each of the three main sections of the article and address all points therein, (2) the clarity of your writing, including your ability to stay within the page limitations and follow APA format and style where applicable. Points will be deducted if information is not provided, is provided but is incorrect, or is poorly written.
*****This is the information I will be looking for in each section*****

Introduction: (10 points)
a) Problem statement: What is the main issue, question, or problem that the authors seek to investigate? Include the species under investigation.
b) Lit Review: How is the problem contextualized in the literature? Summarize the previous research reviewed in the paper… what has already been done, what we learned, what questions remain?
c) Theoretical framework/rationale: What is the rationale behind this research and/or the authors’ hypotheses? What overarching theoretical account are they trying to support or disprove (it will likely be one we’ve covered in the text).
d) Research variables: IV(s) and levels and DV(s) – This may be less clear for studies that are observational, use comparative designs, etc. In this case, you will need to describe the approach and identify the variables.
e) Hypotheses: What is the author’s hypothesis(es) and predictions?

Method: (10 points)
a) Sampling: How many subjects were there and who were they? How were subjects chosen?
b) Research design: What research design was used (within subjects/repeated measures, between subjects, observational, comparative)?
c) Data collection methods: How were the data collected? Describe the general method/procedure.

Results: (5 points)
a) Interpretation of results: What did the results indicate? What conclusions were drawn? Don’t include any specific numbers/statistics here. Instead, describe the effects that were observed and the findings. Were hypotheses supported?

Discussion: (5 points)
b) Limitations and Future Directions: What did the authors mention as some limitations and/or future directions for their study? What are the next steps in this line of work?

Critique (20 points)…. Now you will critique the article
1. Review the questions listed at the end of this document. These questions are meant to serve as a reading guide – you should ask yourself these questions when reading the article you have chosen. You are not required to answer all of these questions in your paper. These questions only serve as a reading guide to help you identify strengths and weaknesses of an article or study. I’ve highlighted those topics that might be particularly relevant to your critique. Review the article with these questions in mind, and then base your critique on what you feel are the most noteworthy strengths and weaknesses.

2. Start a new section of your paper labeled “Critique,” and critique the article primarily on its scientific merit. This critique does not have to be all negative – you may feel that there are some particularly strong points of the research that you wish to highlight and so you should do so. The key is that you must justify the basis for your positive or negative evaluation by including specific reasons and examples related to the article content.

a. Some Do’s and Don’ts:
i. Do NOT simply state, “The authors’ literature review was adequate.” You’ll want to explain and give support for why the authors’ literature review was adequate: “The authors clearly indicated how the research problem was related to other findings in the literature. For example, the authors described that the findings of Harris and Nunez (2000) indicated that children can reason about social exchange from the age of five years, but did not indicate whether any development could be expected between the ages of five and seven.”

ii. Do NOT say, “The authors did a good job of using APA format.” This is a peer-reviewed and published APA paper. Of course they used the right format!

iii. Be careful criticizing sample size. Sample sizes could ALWAYS be bigger. But if the authors find a statistically significant difference, this means their sample size was sufficient to do so. You may critique how well they can generalize to a larger population based on their sample, but again, you need to support this argument.

3. You should organize your critique around four main points (a combination of four strengths or weaknesses). At the beginning of each paragraph, you should write a topic sentence (e.g., “The authors’ literature review was adequate”) followed by a few supporting statements and then a concluding sentence. When you are ready to discuss the next point of your critique, start a new paragraph.

4. The final draft (summary and critique) should be no more than 3-4 pages of double-spaced, typed, 12-pt. Times New Roman font (excluding Title page and References). Be concise, but also organize information into distinctive paragraphs. Editing is 95% of the writing process, so be sure to leave yourself time to write, set your work aside, and then edit/revise when you can read it with a fresh pair of eyes.

5. Your critique will be graded on (1) your ability to provide an insightful, thoughtful critique, including how well you justify your criticisms or lack thereof, and (2) the clarity of your writing, including your ability to stay within the page limitations and follow APA format where applicable.
