Assignments for class - Spring Break Edition

In class we discussed Quality Evaluation of text. You posed the questions (revisited below) to other arguments. Now, you will pose them to each other's.

Edit your partner's Skube letter based on providing answers to the following questions:

Are opinions adequately supported? Choose one opinion and explain how the author supports it. Does this make the opinion valid? Please an IV on the paper next to any of the author's opinions that you believe should be better valid?



Are facts verifiable? Give one example of a fact in the article and explain how its verified. If the paper is devoid of fact, say so, and point out where and how facts would serve to support the argument. 


Is material out dated? Remember that "out dated" also speaks to relevance. Is the argument relevant, if so point out an example of how or how not.


Is the author credible? How do you know? While you guys are exempt from EXPLICIT credibility, no one is exempt from IMPLICIT credibility.


Are sources cited? If so, what are they? Make sure your author both CITES and ATTRIBUTES his/her arguements.


Is the reasoning logical? Can you catch your author in a fallacious argument. if so....EXPOSE that bad boy!

Please also help your partner by editing the paper for grammer and mechanics.

Otherwise, please study up, your midterm is Monday. Watch the blog, because I will post the Computer Lab # when I receive it.


ENJOY SPRING (KINDA) BREAK!
