Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Critical Appraisal of Research
Realtors rely on detailed property appraisalsconducted using appraisal toolsto assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.
The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 4B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

Students are expected to write critical autobiographical descriptions throughout the semester as part of their ‘Our Sporting Lives’ project. These reflections provide points of reference for the Our Sporting Lives project, track understandings of social and cultural differences for the courses concluding dialogues, and contribute to discussions by prompting students to think about how course concepts apply to their own lived experiences.
Module 1 topic reflections will build upon each other to deepen personal reflections by integrating additional research. Students will first write an empirical/experiential reflection, next summarize a related additional scholarly source, and finally synthesize their empirical and scholarly sources to further critically reflect on their gendered sporting experiences.
Module 1 topic reflection 3 is due by midnight on Friday, October 9th. Each of the Module 1 topic reflections are worth 10 points and the topic reflections together are worth 20% of the total course grade.
Please note: This class, and these reflections and the discussions they will prompt, are for students with all levels of experiences with sport – elite and recreational, team and individual, participant or consumer (i.e. fan), enriching and alienating, inclusive and exclusive. Please utilize topic reflections to think and write about these experiences, whatever they may be.

Assignment Criteria

Module 1 topic reflection 3 (10 points) will be evaluated on the following criteria. Each of the criteria will be graded as complete, incomplete, or absent.
Synthesis (8 points)
Synthesize your personal empirical (lived) experience (Module 1 topic reflection 1) with your selected scholarly source (Module 1 topic reflection 2) (approx. 250 words; paragraph format; in the following order)
2 points; Briefly (1-2 sentences) re-state 1 or both of the reflections (conforming and/or challenging gender ideology) you provided as part of your Module 1 topic reflection 1.
2 points; In what ways does your selected scholarly source further illustrate others’ sporting experiences as conforming to gender ideology (e.g. sports as reaffirming males as dominant and masculine, and females as physically inferior and feminine; gender inequity in sport through rules, funding, access to facilities, quality/quantity of media coverage, etc.; heteronormativity and homophobia) AND/OR challenging gender ideology (e.g. the acceptance of diverse forms of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality; female athletes and athletics as equal).
4 points; In what ways does your selected scholarly source provide further insights to, and understandings of, your own personal gendered sporting experience as conforming to gender ideology (e.g. sports as reaffirming males as dominant and masculine, and females as physically inferior and feminine; gender inequity in sport through rules, funding, access to facilities, quality/quantity of media coverage, etc.; heteronormativity and homophobia) AND/OR challenging gender ideology (e.g. the acceptance of diverse forms of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality; female athletes and athletics as equal).
Connect your personal experience(s) to key points from your selected scholarly source to re-examine your initial reflection (e.g. how does it allow you to further critically reflect on your gendered sporting experiences?)
revisit what you wrote for the critique portion of your Module 1 topic reflection 2 contribution (e.g. how will the article be useful to reflect on your own sporting experience(s)?)
Support (2 points)
Support the connections between your personal experience and selected scholarly source through paraphrasing (Author, Year) or direct citations (Author, Year, p. #).
Students should use correct APA in-text citation when paraphrasing or directly quoting from sources.

Assignment: Personal Leadership Philosophies
Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

To Prepare:

Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Modules readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
The Assignment (2-3 pages):

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:

A description of your core values
A personal mission/vision statement
An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen
A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
Be sure to incorporate your colleagues feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Modules Discussion 2.

In addition to uploading your reflection as a word document to your e-Portolio. Please submit your reflection via the above submission link. I will not be able to grade this assignment until I see that it was also uploaded to your e-Portfolio.
