7/21: Since the annotated bibliography will be due on Monday I need to continue looking for sources. Therefore, by today I want to have looked for two to three more scholarly sources and to begin to form a rough outline for my essay.

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

I would like to thank my entire group members and Professor Donaldson whose comments and suggestions had been very helpful to improve the quality of this final paper. I have tried for the best of my ability to incorporate in this final version, all their great ideas about the format and the content of the documents. Professor Donaldson suggested “I am going to suggest that you do a little reorganizing.  First of all, you should get rid of all of the headings.  (Yes, all of them.)  Then you should move the biography blurbs to the beginning of each discussion of each respective author.” This idea abstracts Joseph’s and Kandice’s. Following these directions, I have removed

It was just a comparisons of the onset of the disorder and the parental history as well to see if there was a correlation. The researchers scouted and interviewed various patients who answered to advertisements about the study. Patients were then interviewed and filled out a self grading questionnaire about themselves. The categories on the self questionnaire were common things like ethnic background and entry level position. Also the patients were tested on many poor prognosis. These categories included psychological stress if any during childhood, any cases of anxiety, and problems with substance abuse. They also looked at the age at which they were diagnosed with Bipolar I diagnosis, and cases of 20 or more affective episodes. The researchers gathered this data to record any finding that they may see. These two groups of researchers were able to conclude something from their experiment. The researchers concluded that when there was a history of parental mental illness, the patients in the United States are more apt to show early onset symptoms of Bipolar disorder than their counterparts in Europe. The researchers showed diagrams on where each country was alike or different on the poor prognosis categories, and with every category the European group scored lower on all of the poor prognosis than the Americans. This find suggests that Europeans may not be as susceptible as Americans in inheriting mental disorders from their

(2012) should be that they should focus on other databases not only on two databases because it can help get a variety of sources. What the researchers did well was that they explain the risk factors youth with bipolar can go through. Though I did not like how there was a variety of studies that did not agree with each other, so I was confused and did not quite know what information to agree on. Also future research should focus more on clinical populations to get more accurate diagnosis to better understand the risk factors that are associated with suicidality. Another weakness that I found is that they didn’t provide much information about the protective factors so future research should imply what can youth with bipolar do to help them deal with their

The purpose of this assignment is to critique and evaluate the chosen article in terms of strengths and weaknesses, to demonstrate an understanding of the research process. According to Polit and Beck (2004) the aim of critically appraising an article is an attempt to determine its strengths and limitations. Therefore, the research critique should reflect an objective and balanced consideration of the study's validity and significance (Polit and Hungler 1999). The task of critiquing is, according to Lo Biondo-Wood and Harber (2006) a challenging one and can only be effectively achieved through much practice and skill.

Due at the end of week 9. There are 70 marks. This assignment is worth 20 % of the total grade.

Through the semester, total eight sessions will be held on every other week. For each session, eight to ten articles are assigned as readings, and I am required to write a mini literature review that offers a critical assessment of the key ideas of each reading and collective relationships between the articles. I will present the findings and have a further discussion with Dr. Smith during the class session.

Due at the end of week 2. There are 41 marks. This assignment is worth 5 % of the total grade.

Explain what evidence and research methods are appropriate for your research question and why. Then explain what data you collected, sources, how you sampled, how you collected it, how you coded it, and how you analyzed it. Demonstrate that your methods are "explicit, sound and appropriate." If you believe you need to explain highly technical methods, present them briefly in the text and provide more information and references to further detailed explanations in an appendix. Discuss any limitations, drawbacks or possible biases in your methodology and what you did to correct or compensate for the problem.
