The ACCT 622 Week 6 method, step by step
Read the article twice, differently
First read for the story, second read for the method. The critique is graded on the second read: design, sample, data collection, analysis and the honesty of the conclusions.
Describe before you judge
Open with an accurate, brief description of the study: purpose, question or hypothesis, design, sample and main findings. The critique only works if the reader trusts your summary.
Appraise each part of the study
Work through the study section by section and ask the questions the course uses: is the design suited to the question, is the sample adequate, are the measures valid, do the results support the conclusions?
Name strengths as well as weaknesses
Balance the appraisal. Strengths that are explained carry as much weight with graders as weaknesses, and a one-sided critique reads as careless.
Say what it means for practice
Finish by judging whether the findings are strong enough to use, and where. This is where the critique earns the analysis points in ACCT 622.
Keep to the length and format
Write in paragraphs, inside A substantive critique, with current APA citations. A critique that turns into a table or list usually loses its argument.
Read the classmate's legal analysis element by element (duty, breach, causation, damages, and for fraud, scienter) and note any element asserted without facts. Supply the missing facts or explain why the element fails.
A structure for ACCT 622 Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 3 Critique
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Summary | Main answers. | ~150 words |
| Strengths | What works. | ~240 words |
| Weaknesses | Gaps or errors. | ~420 words |
| Additions | What was missed. | ~290 words |
A topic angle that works
For a liability case, check whether the classmate applied the right jurisdiction's standard and whether the facts support the elements they claim are met.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Your negligence analysis is thorough on duty and breach but skips causation: the case notes that the bank had already approved the loan before the audit report was issued.1 If reliance came first, the bank's claim weakens considerably, since courts require that the plaintiff actually relied on the audited statements.2
