Attention fellow (late blooming) critical reviewers!!

For everyone who has just started their critical review (like me)...because there are too many researchers out there... and you have only just now decided on an article... I even found an excellent forensic article- A Motive Analysis as the First Step in Designing Technology for the use of Intuition in Criminal Investigation... just can't seem to shake off that forensic psychology course I deferred in my 2nd year (in 1998).

I hate smorgasbords and being spoiled for choice!

Anyway have I got one for you! I happened upon this link in my cybertravels.... http://arts.monash.edu.au/lls/critical-review-checklist.pdf and was excited enough about it to send it. Of course I discovered it after I had developed my own table/matrix. Anyway I just thought it might be helpful... I think it's a cool little tool and may help with that focus... I still might even use it. Of course you lineal thinkers have no idea what I'm talking about do you?

Now it's back to it (critical review... coffee and chocolate) for me!

Which reminds me... Ian... your teaching strategies (whilst they are clever- positively Machiavellian even...) ...are killing me! ARGH!

  3. Very welcome Chip & Liz.... did you check out Monash site??- they have a lot more stuff- especially re critical reviews. Spoilt for choice (with articles I mean) is not all it is cracked up to be believe me- especially for someone like me :(.... but back on task.... then my email goes down... typical... so I cancelled my study leave and back to work. Wasn't it nice of Ian to give us an extension? 23rd would have been better LOL... All the best with the assignment.
