Read the following empirical research article:

Eskew Faley -- Some determinants of student performance in the first college-level financial accounting course.pdf

As you're reading, focus on the following ideas:

   What was the purpose of the research?

   Who were the subjects?

   What were the variables?

   What was the methodology?  Is it well-balanced research?

   What were the conclusions?

   Do the statistics support the authors' conclusions?

   Do the graphs agree with the statistics and with the authors' conclusions?

   Were the statistics appropriate for the type of research design?

   What evidence exists to back up the authors' claims?

   Do you agree with the author's conclusions?  Why or why not?  Make your own claims based on evidence, rather than personal opinion, personal beliefs, unfounded ideas, or what "should be".

 

Write a 2-page paper about this paper.  Critically analyze, assess, and critique the paper.  Does it stand up to healthy scrutiny?

 

The paper should be 2 pages in length.  Headers, such as your name, a title, etc. don't count towards this (so don't try to pad with a big header!).  12-point font, regular margins, double-spaced.  Upload the assignment to Canvas using the TurnItIn submission option.  Use proper in-text citation and include a Reference section (use this website as a guide for citation and references: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/

 (Links to an external site.)

).  You MUST properly paraphrase.  Put everything into your own words to avoid accidental plagiarism.

Remember the 4 C's of writing:  be concise, be clear, be coherent, and be complete.  Worry more about presenting some clear ideas to show your critical thinking about the paper than about sounding smart or professional.
