  Is This Better Than Their Average? A Critique of Williams and Gilovich (2012)

  How to Critique an Article
  General Considerations for Writing a Critique
  Read the article at least twice: once to get a general idea, and one more time, in detail. Whenever possible, present both arguments and counter-arguments (other possible explana- tions or points of view for your criticism)
  Be concise
  Use plain language
  Avoid \I think that…” { instead, use denite language, and back it up with logical arguments and citations to relevant sources when necessary
  Specic Considerations
   What are the most serious downfalls of the research in the article?
   Does the title of the article accurately represent its content?
   Does the abstract clearly summarize the article?
   Is the introductory section relevant to the research conducted in the article?
   Does the experimental setup make sense, and is it justied?
   Are the results interpreted correctly?
   Are the results summarized in the discussion in the larger context of past research, and tied
  to the introduction?
   Is any of the text of the article unclear/ambiguous?
   Have the authors been objective in their discussion of the topic?
   Is the purpose of the research important to the eld?
   Are the experimental methods described well enough that they could be replicated?
   Are the experiments conducted appropriate to answer the questions asked?

  A Brief Introduction to APA (American Psychological Association)

  General

  • Language/ Style
  • Avoid subjective statements when possible (e.g., “I believe that…”)
  • Use active voice (e.g., “We investigated phenomenon x…” rather than, “Phenomenon x was investigated…”)
  • Succinct; use plain language rather than flowery prose
  • Use scare quotes for first instance of irony, slang, or invented expression
  • I am not very “hip.”
  • Use italics for first instance of a new term or foreign language
  • No contractions (e.g., can’t, won’t)
  • “That is,” in text = “i.e.,” in parentheses
  • I injected the rats with saline, that is, salt water solution.
  • I injected the rats with saline (i.e., salt water solution)
  • “For example,” in text = “e.g.,” in parentheses
  • Use the Oxford (serial) comma
  • I spoke with the strippers, JFK and Stalin.
  • I spoke with the strippers, JFK, and Stalin.
  • Use plural pronouns
  • We gave the subject a test that he took.
  • We gave the subject a test that they
  • Capitalize proper nouns
  • Numbers: < 10, sue words; ≥ 10, use numerals
  • We tested nine participants.
  • We tested 18
  • Eighteen participants were tested (If starting sentence with a number).

  Formatting

  • Font size = 12 pt, Times New Roman
  • Margins = 1 inch on all sides
  • Double-spaced (including references)
  • Use two spaces following a period or colon
  • Use indentation for new paragraphs (except in Abstract)

  Sections

  • Title Page
  • Abstract (Between 150-250 words) – Short little story summarizing what your paper is going to be about
  • Body
  • References

  In Text Citations

  • In round brackets, usually at the end of a sentence
  • Authors’ last names, separated by a comma, and then year
  • Most modern cats require tiny mittens (Smith, Jones & Stephens, 1998).
  • 2 or fewer authors: list all authors each time
  • 3-5 authors: list all the first time you cite the source, but only first with et al., afterward
  • Tiny mittens are difficult to come by (Barrows, Clark, Philips, Mortensen & Broccard 2007). Cats that do not require tiny mittens are generally not orange (Barrows et al., 2007).
  • 6 or more authors: use the et al., structure
  • Non-parenthetical references: do not use &; Date is still in parentheses

  • This is why we have a reference section!
  • Avoid using direct quotes (1-2 per page 10-page paper, maximum – and better to use none)

  • Avoid Emotionally Biased Language (Be Neutral – Just the Facts, Please!)

  Remember the Logical Foundations of Research

  • DO NOT use the word “prove” in a scientific paper!

  Back up Your Claims!

  • In scientific writing, you should never just say stuff.*

  Affect/ Effect

  • Affect: verb
  • This manipulation will affect the outcome of the study.
  • How have the variables been affected?
  • Effect: noun
  • What is the effect of puppies on happiness?
  • Effects, such as lower grades in classes, are often seen as the result of lack of sleep.

  Review of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus (1818) Written by Walter Scott

  $15.00

  For this assignment you will write your evaluation essay. You are required to submit only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.

  Now that you have completed Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, you are in a good position to consider what critics have written about the novel. You will need a total of two critiques (also known as critical analysis essays) for this assignment.

  First, use the selection of links below to locate a critical analysis essay written about the 1818 version of Mary Shelley’s novel. You may focus most of your attention on this first critique.

  Choose from among these sources:

  ü ipl2 Literary Criticism collection: If you use this site, you must choose from the first seven critiques listed as the final two are not scholarly:

  ( http://www.ipl.org/div/litcrit/bin/litcrit.out.pl?ti=fra-63

  ü Professor Sherry Ginn’s critique:1 http://www.clas.ufl.edu/ipsa/2003/ginn.html

  ü Professor Naomi Hetherington’s

  critique: http://knarf.english.upenn.edu/Articles/hether.html

  The questions in the study guides should have helped you evaluate this criticism in your head. Now it’s time to write it down!

  Your evaluation may go more smoothly if you approach the guiding questions in this order:

  1. Evaluate the critic/author:

  Who wrote the criticism you read? What credentials does the author have (education, professional career, other publications, etc.)? (If you are using a credible author, you should be able to find her/his credentials fairly easily)

  2. Find the thesis of the article:

  What is the thesis of the critical article you’ve chosen? What point does the author want to make about Frankenstein?

  3. Evaluate the thesis:

  1 Note: You should avoid reading Ginn’s article too simplistically. A common misperception is that Ginn is arguing in favor of this novel being an autobiography, but if you read her article in full, you will find that this isn’t really the case. If you misinterpret your chosen source, it will affect your own arguments, so please read carefully.

  Do you agree with this thesis? Why or why not? We’ve covered many ideas in the study guides. Can you find points within the guides that support your agreement or disagreement with the critical writer(s)? Look for new supporting information rather than revisiting the same ones the critics have chosen.

  4. Evaluate the support:

  Whether you agree or disagree with the thesis, does the critic provide sufficient research from the text and outside references to make a strong case? What does the article have for support from the text or outside sources? In your opinion, what makes these references valid? Do you feel the author uses this support properly?

  Next, locate a second critique about the novel, and discuss how this second critique agrees and/or disagrees with the first one. For instance, if the first critic argues that Shelley’s writing is juvenile, does the second critic agree with this assessment? If the first critic believes the novel is autobiographical, does the second critic concur? These are just a few examples of how you can include this second critique in order to have a polished, comprehensive Evaluation Essay of your own.

  In addition to addressing each of the evaluative components above, develop your essay so it has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. You must include an evaluative thesis statement both the introduction and the conclusion. Ensure that each of your claims are supported with valid evidence from the literary criticism you have chosen, the novel, Frankenstein, and/or the study guides.

  Using proper MLA2 style, insert parenthetical citations for all borrowed information in addition to a Works Cited page for Frankenstein and your chosen literary critiques; you are not required to cite the study guides if you use them.

  Better Boston Beans Case Study

  $12.50

  Six Pillars of Character and Stages of Moral Development

  Better Boston Beans is a coffee shop located in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace near the waterfront and Government Center in Boston. The coffee shop specializes in exotic blends of coffee including Sumatra Dark Roast Black, India Mysore ‘Gold Nuggets’, and Guatemala Antigua. It also serves blended coffees including Reggae Blend, Jamaican Blue Mountain Blend, and Marrakesh Blend. For those with more pedestrian tastes, the shop serves French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Hawaiian Macadamia Nut. The coffee of the day varies, but the most popular is Colombia Supremo.

  The coffee shop also serves a variety of cold-blended coffees. Cindie Rosen has worked for Better Boston Beans for six months. She took the job right out of college because she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to go to graduate school before beginning a career in financial services. Cindie hoped that by taking a year off before starting her career or going on to graduate school, she would experience â??the real worldâ? and find out firsthand what it is like to work a 40-hour week. She did not have a full-time job during college because her parents helped pay for the tuition.

  Since Cindie is the ‘new kid on the block’, she is often asked to work the late shift from 4:00 p.m. to midnight. She works with one other person – Jeffrey Lyndell – who is the assistant shift supervisor. Lyndell has been with Boston Beans for three years but recently was demoted from shift supervisor.

  For the past two weeks, Lyndell has been leaving before 11 p.m., after most of the stores in the Marketplace close down, and he has asked Cindie to close up by herself. Cindie felt this was wrong and it was starting to concern her, but she hasn’t spoken to Lyndell and has not informed the store manager. However, something happened one night that caused Cindie to consider taking the next step.

  At 11:00 p.m., 10 Japanese tourists came into the store for coffee. Cindie was alone and had to rush around and make five different cold-blended drinks and five different hot-blended coffees. While she was working, one of the Japanese tourists who spoke English very well approached her and said that he was shocked such a famous American coffee shop would only have one worker in the store at any time during the working day. Cindie didn’t want to ignore the man’s comments so she answered that her coworker had to go home early because he was sick. That seemed to satisfy the tourist.

  It took Cindie almost 20 minutes to make all the drinks and field two phone calls that came in during that time. After she closed for the night, Cindie reflected on the experience. She realized it could get worse before it gets better because Jeffrey Lyndell was now making it a habit to leave work early. She had to either approach him about it or speak with the store manager. She felt much more comfortable talking to the store manager. In fact, in Cindie’s own words, ‘Lyndell gives me the creeps’.

  Assume Cindie approached Lyndell about her concerns. Lyndell tells Cyndie that he has an alcohol problem. Lately, it’s gotten to him real bad. That’s why he’s left early – to get a drink and calm his nerves. Lyndell also said that this is the real reason he was demoted. He was warned that if one more incident occurred, the store manager would fire him. He pleaded with Cindie to work with him through these hard times. How would you react to Lyndell’s request if you were Cindie? Would you honor his request for confidentiality and support? Why or why not? What if Lyndell was a close personal friend would that change your answer? Be sure to consider the implications of your decision on other parties potentially affected by your actions.

  Assume Cindie keeps quiet. The following week another incident occurs where Cindie gets into a shouting match with a customer who became tired of waiting for his coffee after 10 minutes. Cindie felt terrible about it, apologized to the customer after serving his coffee, and left work that night wondering if it was time to apply to graduate school. The customer was so irate that he contacted the store manager and expressed his displeasure about service and Cindie’s attitude. What do you think the store manager should do? Support your answer with ethical reasoning.

  1. Evaluate the actions of the parties from the perspective of six pillars of character.
  2. Evaluate the actions from the perspective of Kohlberg’s six stages of moral development.
  3. What ethical reasoning can you develop from this case?

  Include your opinions and your current leadership skills that will influence the process for creating awareness of appropriate ethical behavior.
