Essay Homework
Your second essay will be based on source evaluation. Similar to the homework completed last week, you will find the highest quality source you can locate, such as a journal article from the library's online database, or another type of source you hold in the highest regard, and you will analyze it. You can explore some of the following components:
A. Mood and tone.
B. The author, their education level, expertise, and background.
C. Overall argument and ability to persuade.
D. Whether or not there is evidence of biases, complexes, or argumentative fallacies.
E. What type of source you found. Is it a peer-reviewed journal article? Is it a trustworthy news source? A scientific publication? How does the type of source you found important, and what does it say about the overall quality?
F. Are there citations and other sources used within your source? If your source cites data, or quotes other sources, are they also high quality, as well?
G. What do you think about the structure of the source, and way content is delivered?
H. Is the writing style effective?
I. What else can you say about the quality of your source?
