Purpose: Demonstrate that you can summarize and evaluate information you read and then present that evaluation clearly in writing. The attached file gives guidelines of a critique. Task: 1. Write a 2-3 page critique of an MA thesis in your area. Make sure you start your critique with a summary of the thesis and conclude the summary with an evaluative statement (e.g., “This thesis has two main weaknesses, however: its analysis includes researcher bias and many of its sources are outdated.”) Then make sure that each body paragraph has one main point, which is clearly stated in the first sentence of the paragraph. Also include a conclusion (e.g., summarize critique and discuss implications, future action needed, further research needed, suggestions for other authors/articles to read, etc.) 2. Bring the thesis and a draft your critique to class on March 26 for peer review. The final draft of the critique is due on April 2.
