Questions: Introduction: This assignment requires you to select a research article that pertains to public policy or public administration. Please find two journal articles in the file folder that I provided to you. Write a separate review for each of the two articles using the criteria listed below.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to become comfortable with critically evaluating and assessing scholarly research in public policy and public administration. Each review should be about 2 - 3 pages in length, double spaced, one inch margins, in 12-point font.

1. Cite the article and give a brief overview and summary of it.

2. Discuss the article's theoretical approach and make comparisons of this approach to your own thoughts and/or experience.

3. Provide an analysis of the methodology and data used in the article (if used at all). Did the methods/data influence and/or shape the findings and conclusions? (Quantitative versus qualitative; representative sample versus non-representative sample; sample size, etc.)

4. Highlight the public management implications of the article.

5. Explain why you liked or disliked the article. Did it lead to ideas you can apply to your professional goals or work setting?

6. How did your article fit into the larger body of public administration commentary and research?
