Have a quick look at both articles to help you decide which one to choose. They are both very similar lengths and will involve the same amount of work to complete. The assignment requires you to critically evaluate your chosen study, answering the questions outlined below. Use paragraph format with full sentences (no bullet points), to answer each question below. There is no need to include separate introduction and conclusion paragraphs. You need to describe the strengths and limitations in the methods section, rather than just describing the study overall.
