Thread: Watch for media presentations that use some kind of research as part of the
presentation. This could be television, radio, internet, a live presentation, or some other
kind of presentation. This part of the assignment is designed to help you realize how
often research concepts are presented in everyday life. Do not use fictional
sources. For this assignment do not use the presentations that have been presented
within our course.
1. Describe the presentation you saw or heard during the preparation phase of
the assignment. Include a properly formatted in-text citation for that source
and include a properly formatted reference at the end of your initial post for
the presentation you are using.
2. Critique the presentation from the perspective of research methodology.
Identify at least 3 issues/features that relate to research. Use any of the
research concepts from the textbook, presentations, or other course
discussion. Include a properly formatted in-text citation for that source and
include a properly formatted reference at the end of your initial post for
the presentation you are using.
3. Create your own appropriately worded heading (use proper levels of
headings) to introduce the kinds of issues/features that you critique.
4. List the appropriately formatted citation and reference for your source.
Here are examples of the kinds of issues/features you might critique from the
perspective of research methodology:

question?
How appropriate and effective the methods seem to be.

Is the research report intended to be generalized? If so, can these results be
appropriately generalized to a broader population?
Are there issues related to validity or reliability, and if so, how are these
issues addressed?
Any other issues that you would like to address.
You do not need to write about all of the examples above; this list is to give
you an idea as to how to begin. You may also write about other issues as
well.
