Critical Analysis Assignment Instructions
Overview
This template is an alliterated mnemonic device for the critical
analysis of information. The alliterated format is used to assist
in ordering and recalling data relevant to a subject. It can be
utilized from memory, if necessary, when presenting a speech,
leading a discussion, sitting for an interview, or writing a paper.
It can also be used as the foundation for a formal research
paper, a speech, or some other forum, for example, such as a
talk show interview
Instructions
The Critical Analysis Assignment utilizes a template that is a
research tool that will enable you to have a workable command
over a selected topic. It is designed to organize essential
information in a logical and orderly array of categories, which
can be amplified to any realistic degree. In order to complete
this assignment, you will complete the Critical Analysis
Template. The format, with explanations, is located in the
Critical Analysis Explanation at the end of this document.
· Select a topic–Using your textbook’s table of contents as a
guide, select a topic to research for the template. Choose a
topic that is interesting to you and that may be useful and
benefit you. It must, however, be directly relevant to this
course’s content. Also, it MUST deal with a specific ethical,
legal and business practice issue and not a broad philosophical
category of thought. For instance, choosing the topic of
“business ethics” is way, way too vague. You will provide your
topic in the Quiz: Critical Analysis: Topic Selection.
10. · Length–After you supply the appropriate information under
each heading, your work will probably be 3–6 pages; more than
that will be cumbersome. The intent is to be concise and to
provide the most relevant, highest quality information possible.
· References–When addressing “Publications,” a few web sites
will be good to have, but the main idea is to have some
resources that you could mention in an interview. For example,
if someone was to ask you where more information could be
obtained about your topic, you would be able to rattle off
several books or journal articles and their authors. This would
make you seem very knowledgeable about it (and hopefully, you
would be).
· Formatting–Use APA format for your printed references. For
each section in the template, items should be written in bullet
pointformat, not paragraph form. If need be, use a citation for
each bullet point, unless information from a source is being
used for more than one bullet point.
· Submission–Your assignment, when completed, should be
submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Also, provide a cover
sheet for your template with your name, BMAL 560 class name,
class number, and section.
Critical Analysis Explanation
When conducting an analysis, every individual bullet item may
not always apply, but the general assumption will be that every
section will be addressed. A thorough investigation, however,
will determine if this is the case, and if you are uncertain, then
make the time to inteact with your professor about it well before
the assignment is due. Responses should be concise – that is, to
the point – and brief, but not so brief that utility is
compromised.
