Directions:  Submit an APA paper (title page, body of text, reference page) using the information provided in your book and outside resources to apply knowledge learned by critiquing the article provided. Address each of the critique questions. Support your critique with references, which support your decisions.  Support your critique with references from our course readings or other readings about qualitative research, which support your decisions.  I anticipate at 4-6 references at minimum and each answer should have references/sources to support your answers.

Points:  Five (5) points of each questions will be for the correct application of concepts with appropriate references to support the concepts and critique. Five (5) points of each question will be assigned to appropriateness of the critique of the article. Up to 5 points may be ducted for APA and/or Grammar issues.
