Critical Response Memos
- You will complete two critical response memos for Soc. 230. Each memo is 2-4 pages in length, not including title page or reference page. Use APA or ASA referencing.
- Articles to be reviewed (see below) can be found on Blackboard under the Additional Readings tab in Course Materials.
- Use the relevant course lectures and text readings to assist you in developing your memo. Reference this material in the body of the memo.
- Critical Response memos should include the following:
Part A: A statement of the research question(s) that each author expressly or implicitly seeks to answer;
Part B: A statement of how the author answers the question, such as using a theoretical argument or through empirical methods;
Part C: An analysis of how effective the research is at achieving its stated objectives (the strengths and weaknesses of the research).
- Do not summarize the readings. Instead, provide an analysis that digs into the "so what" question to identify the significance of this work.
- The response paper shows that a student is able to critically analyze a work instead of just reading it and composing a restatement or summary. A memo requires the student to explore a work while arguing to validate his/her/their response.
