Assessment 3 – Critical Thinking Paper
Critical Thinking Paper (40%) Due Week 13, Friday at 5pm GMT +8
Provide a critique of one of the major health reports listed below. Use the conceptual frameworks you have been introduced to in this unit to critique the report. You will need to clearly define and give a background to the report and its main findings/content. You will then need to provide a considered and well referenced critique of its contribution to the global public health agenda. This may include such things as limitations to the report, how robust the foundations on which it is based are, biases, impact on global health, how comprehensive the coverage is, gaps that you feel could have been addressed, policy implications, what contribution the report has made to the peer reviewed literature etc.
Ensure you follow best practice in academic writing including adequate and appropriate referencing by following the Guide to Assignment Presentation. Students are encouraged to use Endnote for referencing.
