Tuesday In Class Work

A few questions to consider (don't feel limited to these): Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that biased noted? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

Catharine Cox Miles is the article that I am using as my basis for the questions.

1. The facts are referenced with appropriate references. Most of them look to be peer reviewed journal articles.

2. Generally, the article stays on topic, but in the "Academic" section there is a line that talks about President Hoover asking American Quakers to go to Germany to help and the next sentence talks about Miles-Cox going to Germany. I'm not sure if the author is alluding to the fact that she was a Quaker, but it seemed a little odd.

3. The article is neutral. It doesn't seem like they are biased towards her research, but instead are merely telling what it was.

4. The information comes from a number of sources including the American Journal of Psychology, the Journal of General Psychology, and other reliable sources.

5. Although her personal section seems a little small, I don't think any viewpoints are overrepresented or underrepresented.

6. The links do seem to work, but there is a problem with the 13th citation. It seems that everything is appropriately cited and there is no plagiarism.

7. I think her personal/family section could be expanded somewhat. She moved to Turkey for some time and then back to Connecticut before her death.
