Article critique:
In addition to summarizing the article, students should also apply critical thinking skills to
produce a critique. Namely, students should ensure they identify the main issues raised by
the article and comment on them. Potential issues include (but are not restricted to):
(a) questions regarding the research/argument/model presented in the article
(b) alternative interpretations for the reported results or position taken by authors
(c) proposals for follow-up experiments or alternative models (with clear outcome
predictions), and
(d) direct links to the psychology literature not made in the article.
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
