Find & Critique

Use the Hunt Library Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) (Links to an external site.) to find an article that meets the following criteria.

• Peer-reviewed.
• Full text available on ERIC.
• Contains the words "Correlation" or "Regression" or "Linear Regression."

Download the full-text article and write a four-paragraph (maximum) critique of the article. Follow the guidelines in the Writing Article Critiques page. 

Post & Discuss

Post your four paragraph (maximum) article critique, include your article as an attachment (or a link to the article), and then address the following:

• Do you believe the results? Why or why not?
• Can a reported mean of your article data be treated as a value from a population having a normal distribution? Why or why not?
• Report either the value(s) of the reported Correlation Coefficient(s) and your interpretation, or report the reported Regression Equation and provide an example of a "Predicted" value.

You should make your initial post before the fourth day of the module week to receive full credit. Return at least once later in the module week to provide meaningful comments to two or more of your classmates' posts. DO NOT “post and run” – making all three posts in the same visit. You need multiple visits to the discussion area to gain multiple perspectives by reading all of the posts and replies.
