A. Write a 500-word (no more than 550-word) Critical Review of the secondary source – essay, article, or book (no encyclopedias!) that you have chosen. Magisterial documents or works by saints or doctors of the Church are NOT secondary sources for the purpose of this assignment. You must address all of these topics:
Author: Who is the author?
Title: What is the complete title of the source?
Thesis: What is the authors thesis?
Purpose: What is the authors purpose or goal (stated or unstated)?
Sources: What sources does the author use?
Argument: Is the authors argumentation sound (in other words, are there any leaps in logic, guiding assumptions, etc.)?
Bias: Does the author betray any noteworthy biases or presuppositions that affect the argument?
Style: What types of rhetoric does the author use to convince the reader?
Audience: Who is the authors audience, whether intended or unintended? What sort of person or researcher might benefit most from this work?
A close reading must demonstrate thorough appropriation of the work chosen along with insight and, where appropriate, criticism. Merely summarizing the work is insufficient. Moreover, the student should take care that summarizing the work, if that is desirable, does not take up too much time, effort, and space. Quoting from the article is acceptable, though quotations should not constitute more than 15-20% of the critique.
Note that the topics you should consider when critically reviewing another scholars work are roughly equivalent to the factors that you should take into account when writing your own scholarly research.
