Much better this time :) Please make sure you find some actual data + strengths and weaknesses of each study you read - this will be very useful for your literature review.

Task 2 is not done :(

Task 1: OK, seems like you are interested in family relationships, which is good. You don't have to worry about mobile phone use in the classroom (that is a different topic of course). Try to include some quantitative and qualitative data from the source in your literature review.

# data[].attributes.body
Feedback:
OK, good, but you copied quite a lot from the source! Nevertheless, the answers are good/correct, but I'm interested in your ideas! Otherwise, the source is useful, make sure you include it (and data from it) in your literature review.

# data[].attributes.body
Feedback:
Good, but I'm a bit confused about the methodology of this study: did they use qualitative or mixed methods? It seems unclear from what you said: if it's qualitative data, then it also needs quantitative data to be mixed methods! Also, you did not specify the research instruments used (e.g. interview, survey, questionnaire, focus group?).

Ok, well done. Good critical analysis, this will be very useful for your literature review. Try to include some quantitative and qualitative data from the source when writing the literature review.

# data[].attributes.body
Feedback:
That seems like an interesting experiment - even though you can't replicate it, still, the data can be useful. The ideas are also good and relevant, well done! Keep up the good work! :)

Please do this again asap! You copied almost everything from the source - and did not actually give me any of your ideas/thoughts on the study. Unacceptable I'm afraid.

Good analysis, ideas are useful, too. Make sure you include data from this source in your literature review, it's going to be great! :)

Feedback:
Very good/clear - and the idea of analysing privacy in how couples use their mobiles is great! Can't wait to see your literature review, make sure you use this source and idea - and keep up the good work. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Feedback:
Seems like you are interested in how males/females use their mobiles, OK: if you wish, you can divide your participants according to sex. The ideas are also good, make sure you include them in your literature review! :)

Feedback:
That's it, well done! :) Good analysis of the source, you should definitely include it in your literature review. Keep up the good work!

Feedback: OK, good, and you seem to be interested in addiction as well - although it's a sensitive issue (how are you going to research it? it might cause ethical complications); also, make sure you include data from the study when writing the literature review because right now there is not much. Keep up the good work! :)

Feedback:
Well done! Detailed analysis, but ... if the researchers used questionnaires + focus groups, that means mixed methods were used, not only qualitative methods. :) Risk is a very interesting idea to research - much easier/better than loneliness/depression. You can definitely incorporate it in your literature review!

# data[].attributes.body
Feedback:
Good, although you copied quite a bit from the original source (paraphrase next time). I'm interested in your ideas, but you also found the right information from the source.

Feedback:
Good, analysis is quite detailed. Addiction might be difficult to prove in your study anyway, so you don't have use this idea. However, the other ideas are interesting/useful! :)

Feedback: good, but make sure you actually add data from the study when you are writing your literature review; right now, not much data is included in the critical evaluation, but it's a good start. :) Keep up the good work!

Critical evaluation of a source

Feedback: Task 2 is missing :(

Task 1: you didn't actually specify the strengths and weaknesses, not quite clear what you mean, try to be more detailed! Also, are you going to research loneliness and depression, too? They are very complex/difficult issues to handle by yourself. You need to think about the topic more and keep working!

critical evaluation of a source

Feedback: Oh nooo, Task 2 is missing! :(

Task 1: good, but what are the weaknesses of the study? You did not specify them. Think about what could be useful (strength) for your own study from the data the researchers found - and what is a gap/problem (weakness). You have to do this homework properly so that you can write a good literature review. Keep working, ok?

critical evaluation of a source

Feedback:
It seems to me that this source in particular is not concentrating on mobile phones, but online human relationships (friendship) among young males. Therefore, it might not be the best for your study - it's probably about social media or games or chat rooms, etc. The parts about online friendships (positives and negatives) could be useful, but your topic is mobile phones + human relationships - therefore, these must be connected somehow in your study!

Keep thinking about the topic and search for more appropriate sources that discuss mobile phones and their influence on human relationships (e.g. friendship, romantic relationship, parent - child relationship, classmates, etc.).

Feedback:
Good job, it seems like a useful source. You could probably utilise the positive results (strengths) even more in your own study. Make sure you include data from this source in your literature review! :)

By the way: convenience sampling is correct.

Choose a new source related to your research topic and evaluate it critically using the document below (Task 1 + 2).
**Useful advice**
There are a number of ways in which you can demonstrate that you have critically evaluated a study. You can focus on:

1. Lack of relevance e.g. of time, place, methods used, focus of study, etc.
2. possible weaknesses in the methodology e.g. small sample, sampling method, lack of control group etc.
3. possible flaws in the data analysis used
areas which have not been examined i.e. a ‘gap’ in the literature
4. possible faulty logic e.g. the claims made are not based on the results

However, remember that being critical does not necessarily mean highlighting weaknesses in a study. You can also focus on:

1. strengths in the research design or data analysis
2. relevance of the study to your own research e.g. because it is similar in scale, focus, the participants, research context or design of the research
3. theories or ideas which may be particularly useful to your own research e.g. in the questionnaire
