Project Guidelines

Data literacy is a vital component of psychology-related careers. Having the skills to understand, dissect, and critique research studies will benefit you in this course and beyond. For this project, you will critique the research study that you chose for the  assignment.

Critiques involve a balanced discussion of the research study, which means you will want to focus on both the strengths of the study and the limitations or areas of possible improvement. For your critique, you will analyze each section of the research study you selected.

This project builds on the skills you practiced in your Module Two and Module Four activities, as well as the Project Two Milestone assignment.
