Purpose: to Enhance Critical Thinking Guidelines
I. Each literature critique should consist of:
A) A one paragraph comprehensive summary of an article’s content
B) A critical analysis which is your written opinion of a book, periodical article, issue position, etc. The emphasis is on making a judgment about the ultimate worth of the work.
The development of your critical analysis involves identification of author’s proposition/thesis and main ideas, the supporting evidence for the main ideas, the author’s form of reasoning, and your evaluation of how the author uses the facts to argue the position taken. Your criticism will be either an endorsement of the author’s work or a non-endorsement with specified strengths/limitations included.
