What is a critical writing sample?

[beeeeeeer]

Hi everyone,

 

I've encountered an application requesting a "critical writing sample." Can I submit a qualitative research paper for this or are they looking for something else?

 

Thank you!

I think it simply means a paper that provides a critical analysis of a particular topic. Any sociological research paper worth its weight should have this. The methods used in collecting research data have no bearing whatsoever. Hope that helps.
