Discussion: Critical analysis, their unique roles and impacts in Research.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS

Critical analysis is a crucial part of the literature review process, so it is important to understand their unique roles and impacts. How are these concepts different from one another, and how do they contribute to research development?

To prepare for this Discussion, consider the difference between reviewing the literature and creating a literature review, including how the process of synthesizing your understanding can impact both the literature review and your personal research philosophy. For this Discussion, locate a current business research study (within the last 5 years) from the Walden Library, and determine whether it is viable and substantive enough for inclusion in a literature review.

BY DAY 3

Post an evaluation of critical analysis within the context of a literature review, using your selected business research study as evidence for your assertions. Your evaluation should include the following:

Briefly describe the study’s key components, such as purpose, problem, framework, and findings.
Assess the study’s viability within a literature review, including characteristics like current knowledge, substantive data, and relevance. Be sure to include supportive examples.
Explain how critical analysis of the literature on your topic (problem/phenomenon) can inform your view of the problem and your ultimate research philosophy. Be sure to include supportive examples.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
