    Present participle and gerund of critique.

    The editor is critiquing each chapter before sending notes back.

    Critiquing other people's designs taught her to spot her own mistakes.

    Note

    The -ing form of a verb that drops its silent final e: critique becomes critiquing, never critiqueing. After a form of be it builds the progressive (she is critiquing a draft). As a gerund it names the activity itself. Keep that gerund apart from the noun critique, which names the result: an essay of criticism, or a single critical point.
