CRITICAL ANALYSIS TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS
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
Overview:
The Critical Analysis Template 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. The format, with explanations, is located at the end of this document.
Instructions:
• 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.
• Template 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 point format, 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 sent to as a Microsoft Word document. You will submit your completed template through the course link in Module/Week 7. Also, provide a cover sheet for your template with your name, BMAL 560 class name, class number, and section.
