**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

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.]]> 2017-04-30 15:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169060575 Fang https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169098481 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.).]]> 2017-05-01 01:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169098481 Qin https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169129184 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?]]> 2017-05-01 09:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169129184 Phoenix https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169139576 Phoenix

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!]]> 2017-05-01 11:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169139576 Ruby https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169167754 Critical evaluation of a source

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!]]> 2017-05-01 13:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169167754 Jacky https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169209971 Critical evaluation of a source

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! :)]]> 2017-05-01 15:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169209971 XT chenxutong2 https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169263510 Critical evaluation of a 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! :) ]]> 2017-05-01 18:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169263510 jason https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169269891 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.]]> 2017-05-01 19:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169269891 jack critical evaluation of a source https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169298260 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!]]> 2017-05-01 22:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169298260 Alzack https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169298323 Critical evaluation of a source

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! :) ]]> 2017-05-01 22:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169298966 Yang-Critical evaluation of a source https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169300621 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. :) ]]> 2017-05-01 22:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169300621 Aiden q513553669 https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169308484 Aiden

Good analysis, ideas are useful, too.

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. ]]> 2017-05-02 03:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169325020 Vicky https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169343941 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!

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?). ]]> 2017-05-02 08:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169361963 YI https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169364882 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.]]> 2017-05-02 09:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/169364882 LIN https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/170151057 Feedback:
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.]]> 2017-05-05 11:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/170151057 peter https://padlet.com/kinga_maior/PM504SourceEvaluation/wish/170713762 Feedback:
