Critical Evaluation of Two Research Articles (15%).

One article must be a quantitative-based article and one must be a qualitative-based article. Ideally, these two articles will inform your group research project. Use a synthesis matrix when reading through your articles (examples are on Blackboard – Week 3). Write a critical report assessing methods, outcomes, and applicability to social work practice (see Appendix A for grading rubric). Due September 29th (week 5), 4-6 pages plus references and your completed synthesis matrix.
