• Critique - how well you think the author or authors address the article topic (should be objective);(100-150 words)
• Your reflection - how you think the article has assisted you in understanding the weekly course topic (can be subjective as you are discussing your own learning).(About 100 words)

Note: You need to use correct Harvard reference citations for each blog to support your critique even though you are only referring to one paper. The blog post should be free from typographical, spelling and grammatical errors.
