1. Comp 540 Critique Writing discussions. Writing your main points in your critique is a way forboth you and all of us to think about the topic ahead of time. http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~comp540/critique.html

How to write an effective critique of a paper The following is adapted from Carlo Tomasi's excellent guide to writing paper reviews. Here are some of the items that should appear in your paper critiques. However, it is up to you to add to these elements anything you deem useful, interesting, or fun. In your critique, provide a set of issues or questions to lead off a discussion. This can be done by asking a series of questions about the paper, or by advocating strong opinions for or against a given method. This item is important for our class discussions. Writing your main points in your critique is a way for both you and all of us to think about the topic ahead of time. Primary Questions Put the complete and correct citation for the paper on the critique. Summarize the paper in a few sentences at the beginning of your critique. This should be your own summary. Elaborate on your synopsis with a brief summary of the paper, highlighting what is new, what is old, and what is important. Sometimes definitions or brief explanations of difficult or technical aspects of the paper are appropriate. State in what way this paper contributes to our understanding of the problem addressed by it. For instance, does the paper describe a mathematical technique from a different field? If so, how can we use it for a task, and what modifications are we likely to have to make? Are these modifications trivial, or are major breakthroughs needed? If the paper describes a system, what is useful about it? How can we improve on it?

As you think through your responses, write them out (word processing?) for your partner. When each peer has completed the critique, give it to the writer. Can you describe this writing as having more than one part? If so what are they? Can you pick out illustrations which make the main idea clearer, more interesting? What is well done about this writing, that is what did you like? What can be improved in this writing? How? Do you have any suggestions to give to your partner?

4. Writing An Outline And Critique Writing a Critique Outline. Outline. Another important component in critique writingis establishing transitions and continuity between discussion topics. http://www.prm.nau.edu/prm346/writing_critique.htm

Outline Your PRM 346 papers must include an outline. Papers are organized by the use of headings. The following headings are suggested. Title page : This is the first page which includes the class name and number, title of paper, author, date. A title page does not have a page number and is not counted in the total pages required. Introduction : This is the purpose or topic of the paper, and it should be considered a brief, concise paragraph or two that summarizes the content of the paper. Literature Review: This is the main section of the paper and includes information based on paragraphs. Remember paragraphs should have one main idea that is in direct support of the thesis statement. Within each body paragraph, there will be a topic sentence (main idea of the paragraph) and supporting idea.. Conclusion or Summary: This is the portion of the paper where you will offer concluding or summarizing comments. It is a brief review and basically tells the reader what the outcome of the paper means. References: Any literature used in an analysis must be accurately cited in order to avoid plagiarism. See

Writing Mentorship and Critique Services I have a craft-focused approach to the teaching of creative writing. While I am interested in helping you develop the process skills that will enable you to get to the deep subject of your writing, I begin with a practical and straightforward elements-based critique of the sentences and paragraphs you have set down on the page. I have worked with beginning to advanced students and am comfortable with writers from all backgrounds and walks of life. My specialty is creative nonfiction writing-which might include memoir, personal and lyric essay, literary journalism, nature writing, city writing, travel writing, autobiographical fiction, braided/segmented/fragmentary nonfiction prose forms, mixed genre works, and any sort of nonfiction meditation and/or rumination. I am especially interested in formal and lyric experimentation, but I am equally experienced with both story and "think" pieces. I am open to almost all subject areas and am especially sensitive to content having to do with cultural identity, social witness, GLBT lives, women's lives, recovery tales, family history, and the history and meaning of place. I am also happy to work with you on your writing process and practice issues. I have over twelve years experience teaching creative writing in both community and academic settings. My students tell me I am a thorough and insightful critic who challenges them to do their best work.

WRITING a CRITIQUE GENERAL COMMENTS A. A critique does two main things: 1. States the author's purpose 2. Evaluates how well (in the reviewer's opinion) the author has succeeded. B. A critique is not a report or summary. A brief summary of what the book covers may be justified but should never be the major portion of your critique. A CRITIQUE SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING I. DESCRIPTIVE STATEMENT A. Information about the book and the author (who is s/he, what else has s/he written, and so on). B. General subject matter of the book II. STATEMENT OF THE AUTHOR'S PURPOSE III. STATEMENT OF THE THEME AND THESIS A. Theme: the subject or topic B. Thesis: what the author is tying to say or prove about the theme. IV.

8. Writing_a_critique WRITING A CRITIQUE. A critique is These preceding guidelines are nota rigid formula for writing a critique. Thousands of authors http://homepages.uhwo.hawaii.edu/~writing/critique.htm

WRITING A CRITIQUE A "critique" is a formalized, critical assessment of a text (or other media). It is also a personal response; yet writing a critique is considerably more rigorous than saying that the text is "great", "interesting", or "unsatisfactory". These are all responses, but they don't illuminate the subject for everyone. Therefore, you have to explain how you arrived at your conclusions. Your task in writing a critique is to turn your critical examination of a text into a systematic evaluation in order to deepen your reader's (and your own) understanding of it. Among other things, you are interested in determining what an author says, how well the points are made, what assumptions underlie the argument, what issues are overlooked, and what implications can be drawn from such an analysis. Critiques, positive or negative, should include a fair and accurate summary of the text; they should also include a statement of your own assumptions. Stated or not, these assumptions underlie every evaluative comment you make. Therefore, you have an obligation, both to the reader and yourself, to clarify your opinions. In the process of writing a critical assessment, you are forced to examine your own knowledge, beliefs and assumptions. Ultimately, the critique is a way of learning about yourself. How to Write a Critique You may find in useful to organize your critique in five sections: introduction, summary, analysis of the text, your response to the text, and conclusion.

What is the plan, method? Is it well conceived? Does it help achieve the author's objectives? What are the underlying assumptions? Are they stated or do they lurk behind a stance of neutrality and objectivity? How do assumptions and biases affect the validity of the piece? Are the assumptions/statements supported by evidence? What evidence and ideas has the author failed to consider? Are the author's judgments and conclusions valid? Pre-Writing Process: Read the piece to be critiqued very carefully. Reread the material. Divide it into paragraphs and sections Label each Underline key ideas and terms Review background facts about the author and the issue or issues. Choose your position. List your major reasons for selecting this position.

back to handouts menu by Susan Katz and Jennie Skerl When college professors ask you to write a critique of a text, they usually expect you to analyze and evaluate, not just summarize. A summary merely reports what the text said; that is, it answers only the question, "What did the author say?" A critique, on the other hand, analyzes, interprets, and evaluates the text, answering the questions how? why? and how well? A critique does not necessarily have to criticize the piece in a negative sense. Your reaction to the text may be largely positive, negative, or a combination of the two. It is important to explain why you respond to the text in a certain way. Step 1. Analyze the text As you read the book or article you plan to critique, the following questions will help you analyze the text: What is the author's main point? What is the author's purpose? Who is the author's intended audience? What arguments does the author use to support the main point?
