Critical writing

2ND COT PPT related literature.pptx

A literature review is a critical analysis and synthesis of existing research and scholarly articles, books, and other sources related to a particular topic or research question. It is an essential component of academic writing, particularly in research papers, theses, and dissertations. The purpose of a literature review is to provide an overview, summary, and evaluation of the existing literature on a specific subject, highlighting gaps, controversies, and areas that require further investigation. Here are key elements and purposes of a literature review: Survey of Existing Literature: A literature review involves systematically searching and reviewing the existing body of literature relevant to the chosen topic. This includes academic articles, books, conference papers, and other scholarly sources. Identification of Key Themes and Trends: The review aims to identify and analyze key themes, trends, and patterns within the literature. It helps researchers understand the current state of knowledge on the topic and how different studies contribute to the overall understanding. Evaluation of Methodologies and Approaches: Researchers assess the methodologies and approaches used in previous studies. This evaluation helps in understanding the strengths and limitations of different research methods and informs the researcher's own methodology. Identification of Gaps and Contradictions: A literature review reveals gaps, controversies, or contradictions in existing research. This identification helps researchers position their own work within the broader academic context and contributes to the rationale for their study. Synthesis and Integration: The literature review involves synthesizing information from various sources, providing a comprehensive overview of the state of knowledge on the topic. It may involve categorizing studies, comparing findings, and presenting a coherent narrative. Framework for Research Design: The literature review guides the development of a research design by informing the choice of research questions, hypotheses, and methodologies. It helps researchers build on existing knowledge and design studies that address gaps or expand upon previous research. Citation of Relevant Works: Throughout the literature review, researchers cite relevant works to give credit to previous researchers and provide evidence to support their arguments and statements. Establishing Credibility and Expertise: By demonstrating a thorough understanding of the existing literature, researchers establish their credibility and expertise in the chosen field. This is crucial for gaining the trust of the academic community and readers. A well-executed literature review is not just a summary of past research; it is a critical analysis that contributes to the development of new knowledge and understanding within a specific academic discipline or field of study.

COMS 360 Litke – Topic Exploration Assignment 1 Topic Exploration Assignment 1 requires you to select a topic related to EITHER chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) OR chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements) and to explore that topic in greater detail. You will begin your exploration by reviewing the related material in chapter 3 or chapter 4 and then will conduct additional exploration of your topic. You will need to narrow your topic to meet the requirements of the assignment. Keep in mind that papers must be specifically focused on gender. This assignment serves to strengthen skills in information competence relative to research and support of ideas. Consequently, you are required to conduct additional research on your topic. Topic Exploration 1 must include a minimum of three current, scholarly academic sources. For Topic Exploration 1, the textbook can be included as one of the three minimum required sources but should not be the only source or the primary source of supporting material for your exploration of your selected topic. For most papers/topics, “current” would typically mean roughly the last ten years, however, some topics might warrant older sources. The assignment requires that you locate scholarly or academic sources which will be the general expectation. However, some topics might be so current that the only available sources might not be found in scholarly/journal type sources. So, the requirement for current, scholarly, academic sources could vary given topics selected. All papers require credible sources. Make sure that you have a minimum of three references; that is a requirement of the assignment. Requirements and Evaluation: Once you have a topic related to chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) or chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements, you will need to conduct additional research on your topic.

Skip a line, and begin your essay. Do not include a title, headings, running head, or any other identifying information. This will allow you maximum space to convey your material. Do not plagiarize ANY PART of your paper. All papers must be well written, clearly supported, and thoroughly proofread. Papers will be evaluated on content, quality and depth of research, clarity, organization, citation, style, and format. If you have questions, please email me.

Common misconceptions of critical thinkingSHARON BAILIN, R.docx

clarebernice

Common misconceptions of critical thinking SHARON BAILIN, ROLAND CASE, JERROLD R. COOMBS and LEROI B. DANIELS In this paper, the ®rst of two, we analyse three widely-held conceptions of critical thinking: as one or more skills, as mental processes, and as sets of procedures. Each view is, we contend, wrong-headed, misleading or, at best, unhelpful. Some who write about critical thinking seem to muddle all three views in an unenlightening meÂlange. Apart from the errors or inadequacies of the conceptions themselves, they promote or abet misconceived practices for teaching critical thinking. Together, they have led to the view that critical thinking is best taught by practising it. We oÄer alternative proposals for the teaching of critical thinking. Critical thinking is a subject of considerable current interest, both in terms of theory and pedagogy. A great deal is written about critical thinking, conferences on the subject abound, and educational initiatives aimed at fostering critical thinking proliferate.1 It is our view that much of the theoretical work and many of the pedagogical endeavours in this area are misdirected because they are based on faulty conceptions of critical thinking. Critical thinking is frequently conceptualized in terms of skills, processes, procedures and practice. Much of the educational literature either refers to cognitive or thinking skills or equates critical thinking with certain mental processes or procedural moves that can be improved through practice. In this paper we attempt to explain the misconceptions inherent in such ways of conceptualizing critical thinking. It is important to note that much of the literature contains a pervasive miasma of overlapping uses of such terms as skill, process, procedure, behaviour, mental operations, j. curriculum studies , 1999, vol. 31, no. 3, 269±283 S haron Bailin, a professor in the Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6, is interested in philosophical inquiries into critical thinking, creativity and aesthetic education.

POSITION PAPER Students must write a position paper focusing on a controversial and/or important topic related to the history of Africans in the U.S. The paper should be between 3-5 pages (double-spaced; 12-font) and should include the following: 1) A clear statement of your position on the chosen topic. Example: “I believe that stem research is wrong….” 2) At least four strong logical arguments/facts supporting your position. Example: “…I based my position on four factors. The first is that …. The second is that…. 3) Identification and notation of at least three sources in the narrative of your paper.

Kondo argues convincingly that the American educational system is designed to miseducate rather than educate Black students (The Black Student’s Guide to Positive Education [1987], pg. 4).” 5) A clear and concise introduction and conclusion. Example [Introduction]: “In the past few decades, we have witnessed a growing interest in the efforts of Nat Turner and other revolutionaries to use force to end slavery in the U.S. The tactics of these revolutionaries have fostered a debate on the use of force as an instrument for social change. I contend that force was needed to end slavery in the U.S. and that violence played an important role in ending slavery prior to the Civil War…” 6) Logical and reasonable arguments and discussion. Notes: Organize your arguments from strongest to weakest; cite examples that support your points and demonstrate depth in your reasoning. 7) Utilization of at least six sources. (3 must be books and/or articles; the others can be electronic sources. Notes: The position paper is as much a research project as it is a personal view. You must utilize the research of others to support and augment your position. There are no exceptions to the rule. 8) Listings of complete citations of all book, articles and other sources consulted. Notes: List your sources at the end of your paper in either an established format (Turabian, APA…) or in a format that you develop.

Choose an issue where there is a clear division of opinion and which is arguable with facts and inductive reasoning. You may choose an issue on which you have already formed an opinion.

Social issues are complex with multiple solutions. Narrow the topic of your position paper to something that is manageable. Research your issue thoroughly, consulting experts and obtaining primary documents. Consider feasibility, cost-effectiveness and political/social climate when evaluating possible solutions and courses of action.3 The following structure is typical of a position paper: • An introduction • Identification of the issue • Statement of the position • The body • Background information • Supporting evidence or facts • A discussion of both sides of the issue • A conclusion • Suggested courses of action • Possible solutions The introduction should clearly identify the issue and state the author’s position. It should be written in a way that catches the reader’s attention. The body of the position paper may contain several paragraphs. Each paragraph should present an idea or main concept that clarifies a portion of the position statement and is supported by evidence or facts.

Essay #4 Critically Reading and Evaluating Original Scholarship

cullenrjzsme

Essay #4: Critically Reading and Evaluating Original Scholarship Purpose of Assignment The fourth program learning outcome (PLO) for the Communication Studies major at San Francisco State is that its majors can read critically and evaluate original scholarship. This essay allows you to explain what primary/original scholarship means and how you critically read and evaluated original scholarship within your major. Requirements In 4.5 to 5 pages (typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-pt font), write an essay that adheres to the following content guidelines. 1. Your first paragraph should state that the ability to read critically and evaluate primary scholarship is central to the Communication Studies major at SFSU. You should then explain what “primary scholarship” refers to and how it differs from secondary sources. 2. Your second paragraph should make clear that there are different types of primary scholarship (e.g., books, book chapters, research articles, performances, legal decisions) and then explain what it means to read critically and evaluate primary scholarship. 3. Your third paragraph should explain why it is important to be able to read critically and evaluate primary sources. 4. In the remainder of your essay (3-4 pages), you should identify a specific assignment for a course in which you read critically and evaluated primary scholarship, summarize the content of the primary scholarship you read in detail, and summarize your evaluation of the primary scholarship. 5. Be sure to provide closure to your essay. ** See the sample Scholarship essay within this iLearn Assignment Book. Within the Communication Studies major at San Francisco State, I developed the ability to read critically and evaluate primary scholarship. Primary scholarship refers to original work. Examples of primary scholarship in Communication Studies include research studies published as academic articles, books and book chapters by originators of theories or research, as well as performances created by scholars, and even original legal decisions regarding communication law. Primary scholarship (or primary sources) differ from secondary sources, which offer summaries or interpretations of the original. In others words, a secondary source, such as a textbook or newspaper article, summarizes communication scholarship, but the primary source is the original, unedited work. Reading primary scholarship critically means being able to break it down and fully understand the creator’s goals, processes, and meanings. For example, when reading original research, critically reading means being able to articulate the focus of the research, the specific methods that were used, and the results of the research. Critically reading also means being able to explain why the particular research methods make sense given the researcher’s goals and why the results might be the case. For example, in one of my classes we read a research article that found younge ...
