Suggestions for written report/critique:
(1) Introduce the topic by stating 2 or 3 of the major basic assumptions of the worldview under discussion (or major influences to be discussed) – 200 words.
(2) In the next 250-400 words, from an analytical/logical perspective explore the strengths and weaknesses of the basic assumptions (or the reasons for/positive and negative aspects of the influences under discussion). This section of the critique should not be based on your feelings but on a genuine and reasonably defensible analysis of the issues.
(3) The last 150 words should evaluate the worldview in terms of implications for your professional area, noting the difference to your personal worldview if there is a difference.
(4) Use APA or Turabian style and AU format in presenting your report and making reference to any resources to which you refer.
(5) As noted in the assessment criteria, remember that creativity, careful presentation, and well-reasoned argument are the basis of a good grade.
