This guide will help you understand the purpose and step-by-step process of writing a program critique. Use it to help you construct your program critique activities in the course.<\/p>\n
The first step to critiquing an article is to understand the difference between the verbs \u201cto criticize\u201d and \u201cto critique.\u201d According to Seager (2018), \u201ccriticism is judgmental and focused on finding fault, while critique is descriptive and balanced\u201d (para. 6). The following chart compares these two actions:<\/p>\n
