Instructions
Being able to convincingly critique published material is at the heart of academic writing.
An effective critique demonstrates not only an understanding of a resource’s main points and purpose, but also pinpoints the source’s strengths and weaknesses of argumentation.
Therefore, this assignment is aimed at giving you an opportunity to practice being a critical writer.
REQUIREMENTS
The final draft of your Critique Essay must:

contain between 1000-1250 words.
use APA style conventions for both in-text and reference list citations.

While you are not required to use this format, you may find it helpful to follow the structure outlined below:

Introduction paragraph: provide an overview of the article’s purpose and main argument and offer the writer’s thesis regarding the article’s strengths and weaknesses.
Summary paragraph(s): briefly review the article’s key points and thesis.
Evaluation paragraphs: analyze the article’s strengths and weaknesses. In discussing its strengths, point out how the author of your assigned article employs background/context, persuades with facts/details, explains evidence clearly/convincingly, or concludes with implications that apply to information/ideas not covered in the article. In critiquing its weaknesses, write about how the author of your assigned article ineffectively uses evidence, lacks accuracy, interprets source(s) less than convincingly, or fails to fully explore ideas that might contradict the thesis.
Conclusion paragraph(s): present commentary on the article’s overall usefulness to readers and how the article facilitates understanding.

In addition, keep in mind that effective critique essays …
… address an article’s significant points. Critiques that ignore important argument(s) or focus on minor details indicate a lack of fairness and / or understanding on the part of the writer.
… mention an article’s strengths and weaknesses. Critiques that only address strengths read as summaries rather than evaluations. Critiques that only address weaknesses read as excessively judgmental.
… are critical but fair. A single article cannot answer every question or explain every detail about a topic. Thus, an evaluation of that article’s weaknesses should not raise objections that fall too far outside its scope or purpose.
… quote sparingly—i.e., when the author’s language reveals distinctive wording or lack of clarity. Summarizing / paraphrasing demonstrates that a writer understands the author’s points but avoids relying on them too heavily.
… use present tense when discussing an article or the source(s) on which the article is based (e.g., “Ferris argues that Truscott fails to understand something that is of vital importance…” or “Truscott does not agree with Ferris’ contention that…”).
