Now We Are (Level) Six
• What is expected?
•
You have probably worked out that a piece of work that achieved top marks in the first year
achieved less in the second year?
• Unfortunately, in year three is will achieve less
again
8/3/2019 HPP301 Week One Slides
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hpp301-week-one-slides 12/19
The Simple Rule Is:
• Year One – Describe
• Year Two – Describe and discuss
• Year Three – Describe, discuss and evaluate
• The only problem is that you must do all of thesewithin the same word count

Academic Terms
• You will have heard the following termsassociated with marking criteria:
– Critically analyse – Evaluate
– Synthesize
– Formulate
• But what do they mean and how do you dothem?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hpp301-week-one-slides 14/19
Critically analyse
• The ability to think rationally
• Presenting sound judgements rather than simply givingopinions
• Logical progression in forming an argument
• Questions to ask: – Is your/their conclusion valid and reasonable?
– Does your/their argument agree with itself (internal validity)?
– Does it agree with other arguments that make sense?
– If not, does it justify why it disagrees?
– Does it make sense given what we know about the world(ecological validity)?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hpp301-week-one-slides 15/19
Evaluate
• An objective appraisal of the subject matter
• A consideration of the merits and demerits of the subjectmatter
• A weighing up of the evidence for or against a claim or a
theory
• Questions to ask: – Is there evidence for this theory?
– Is there evidence against this theory?
– Is the ‘good’ evidence?
– Is the claim logical given the evidence?
– Is there an equally valid alternative explanation?

Synthesize and Formulate
• Synthesize: – Combine elements into a more complex whole
– Pull parts together into a cohesive single
– Form a single argument from the available evidence
• Formulate: – To present an argument in a systematic manner
– To state a case without ambiguity
• Fuller explanations are provided in “CriticalThinking for Sports Students” by Emily Ryall

Referencing
• There is a requirement to back up academic withadequate referencing
• Most students drop marks in every piece of
assessed work by incorrect or inadequatereferencing
• The departmental referencing conventions areprovided
• Further guides are available online from manysources
– http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm
8/3/2019 HPP301 Week One Slides
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hpp301-week-one-slides 18/19
More Referencing
• Adequate referencing consists of backing up anystatements in your work by citing research
• The fundamental question to ask is “Have I just…” – Described some that happened
•
E.g. I used an opportunity sample for this study – Made a statement
• E.g. opportunity sampling is a useful method in specific situations
• The first sentence is a description and therefore does notrequire a reference
•
The second sentence is an opinion/claim and thereforerequires referencing
• You must also always provide a source reference whenciting a theory
