Please follow the rubric to critique the article. Please look at the longer description on the rubric. Your critique of qualitative research will be different than a quantitative research critique, you will be looking for different things. You will be identifying key elements of qualitative research as well as appraising the trustworthiness of the study. Your critique should be 3-5 pages in length. Please use APA format. Please cite your resources, I will be using your citation to look up your articles so you will not need to submit a copy of the article to me.
