Unit III Article Critique
Facility Article Critique
Planning and constructing a sport facility requires cooperation between a variety of people, agencies, and interests. For this assignment, you will use the online library databases to select an article that focuses on the planning and construction of a sport facility. Specific journals that may have relevant articles include the Journal of Sport Management, the Journal of Facility Planning, Design, and Management, or The Sport Journal. The article must be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal such as these. Please contact the library team if you need assistance locating an article in the library’s databases.
After selecting your article, you will write a two-page paper sharing what it was about and your critique of the article. In your article critique, include specifics regarding the design and construction regulations used during the planning or building of the facility, and identify the major trends that influenced the planning of the equipment used in the facility. Be sure to incorporate material from the assigned reading from your textbook, and explain how your selected article relates to the information covered in this unit.
Steps for completing the assignment are as follows:
1. Navigate to the online library, select a database, and select an appropriate article. 2. Read the article and think about the points the author has made in relation to the content of this unit. 3. Using elements of the article, form a reaction to the article and the author’s viewpoint. Prepare to share your critique of the article. 4. Make sure that your opinion/critique is the result of your insight as well as your logical and critical thinking. A simple statement of agreement or disagreement is not sufficient. You must clearly and logically state (and cite) the reasons for your opinion. 5. Read the instructor feedback from the last assignment, and apply it as you write this paper. 6. Write the paper. Include in the content: a. an introductory statement about whether you agree or disagree with the author, b. an overview of the article’s main points and how it relates to the topics covered in this unit, identification of design and construction regulations involved in the building of the facility, c. major trends that impacted the planning of the facility, d. your critique of the article, and e. a summary of your reaction to the article. 7.
