Desiring to improve knowledge and understanding by assessing sources of information.

Find a single podcast you wish to critique and continue to the next step. Step 2. After finding a podcast, prepare to listen while taking notes. (This video from the BBC has excellent advice on note-taking while listening!)
Step 3. Listen/watch the podcast and take notes. Make sure your notes are organized and easy to read.
Step 4. It is time to transform your notes and thoughts into the beginning of a critique. Include the answers to the following critical thinking questions in your notes:
Comprehension Questions

Requirement 1. An introduction, at most one paragraph long, introducing the name/creator of the podcast, the main purpose of the podcast, and the context underlying the podcasts information. The conclusion should end on whether you will be offering a positive, negative, or mixed evaluation.
Requirement 2. A summary of the podcast indicating the nature of the podcast, it is styles, characters, concepts, and big ideas. This requirement is usually shorter than Requirement 3.
Requirement 3. A critical evaluation of the podcast given your responses in Step 4. Group your ideas into paragraphs; starting with the broadest point and funnelling down to the smallest point.
Requirement 4. A conclusion paragraph, at most one paragraph long, indicating the overall evaluation of the podcast.
