Im studying and need help with a English question to help me learn.
Frank Herbert once wrote that, truth suffers from too much analysis; but its important now more than ever to answer these kinds of questions as you are reading. Make sure that you are questioning everything as you read.
This assignment will help you walk through the process of reading an academic article. Use the resource 04 – Lesson: A Guide to Reading and Analyzing Academic Articles for more information about each of these questions if needed. (see Word doc. attachment)
Select an article from one of the electronic databases offered at the Electronic Library of MN. Otherwise, your local county library may provide access to electronic databases for you.
Copy/paste the following table into your submission below and complete. Don’t forget to include a link to your article.
Step 1 Consider the article as a whole
| Who is writing the article? | |
| What are the authors qualifications? | |
| What audience is the author addressing? | |
| What is the article about? | |
| What sources does the author use? |
Step 2 Determine the purpose, structure and direction of the article
| What is the authors main point, or thesis? | |
| What evidence has the author used? | |
| What limits did the author place on the study? | |
| What is the authors point of view? |
Step 3 Read the article; pay attention to writing and presentation
| How is the authors message being delivered? |
Step 4 Criticism and evaluation of the article
| Was there anything that was left unfinished? Did the author raise questions or make points that were left orphaned in the paper? | |
| Did it make its case? | |
| What does the point made by the argument mean in or to the larger context of the discipline and of contemporary society? | |
| Is the organization of the article clear? Does it reflect the organization of the thesis statement? | |
| Does the authors disciplinary focus lead her or him to ignore other ideas? | |
| Were there any problems with grammar, sentence structure, or word usage? | |
| What did you learn? What are you going to do with this information? |
