What I Need to Know

A critique of an article is the objective analysis of a literary or scientific piece,


with emphasis on whether or not the author supported the main points with
reasonable and applicable arguments based on facts. It's easy to get caught up it. A
good critique demonstrates your impressions of the article, while providing ample
evidence to back up your impressions. As the critic, take time to read carefully and
thoughtfully, prepare your arguments and evidence, and write clearly and cogently.

In writing a critique, it necessitates some in simply summarizing the points of


an article without truly analyzing and challenging active reading which constitutes
the following: read through the article once to get the main idea; mark up the text as
you read through it again; create a legend for your markings; take some longer notes
during subsequent readings; and develop a preliminary concept for your critique.
These processes therefore made the writing of a critique to have at least the required
foundation to start with.

What is It

In your previous module, you have learned how to apply the principles of
writing reviews. This time, we will discuss how the writing of critique is done.

Guidelines in Writing the Three-body Paragraphs

1. Organize your critical evaluations. These should form the bulk of your critique
and should be a minimum of three paragraphs. You can choose to organize your
critique differently depending on how you want to approach your critique. However,
you should devote a paragraph to each main topic, using the rest of the steps in this
section to develop each paragraph's discussion.

7|Page
• If you have three clear points about your work, you can organize each paragraph by
point. For example, if you are analyzing a painting, you might critique the painter’s use
of color, light, and composition, devoting a paragraph to each topic.
• If you have more than three points about your work, you can organize each
paragraph thematically. For example, if you are critiquing a movie and want to
talk about its treatment of women, its screenwriting, its pacing, its use of color
and framing, and its acting, you might think about the broader categories that
these points fall into, such as ―production‖ (pacing, color and framing, screenwriting),
―social commentary‖ (treatment of women), and ―performance‖ (acting).
• Alternatively, you could organize your critique by ―strengths‖ and
―weaknesses.‖ The aim of a critique is not merely to criticize, but to point out
what the creator or author has done well and what s/he has not.

2. Discuss the techniques or styles used in the work. This is particularly


important when evaluating creative works, such as literature, art, and music. Offer
your evaluation of how effectively the creator uses the techniques or stylistic choices
she/he has made to promote her/his purpose.

• For example, if you are critiquing a song, you could consider how the beat or
tone of the music supports or detracts from the lyrics.
• For a research article or a media item, you may want to consider questions
such as how the data was gathered in an experiment, or what method a
journalist used to discover information.
3. Explain what types of evidence or argument are used. This may be more useful
in a critique of a media item or research article. Consider how the author of the work
uses other sources, their own evidence, and logic in their arguments.
• Does the author use primary sources (e.g., historical documents, interviews,
etc.)? Secondary sources? Quantitative data? Qualitative data? Are these
sources appropriate for the argument?
• Has evidence been presented fairly, without distortion or selectivity?
• Does the argument proceed logically from the evidence used?

4. Determine what the work adds to the understanding of its topic. There are a
couple of ways to approach this. Your goal in this section should be an assessment
of the overall usefulness of the work.
• If the work is a creative work, consider whether it presents its ideas in an
original or interesting way. You can also consider whether it engages with key
concepts or ideas in popular culture or society.
• If the work is a research article, you can consider whether the work enhances
your understanding of a particular theory or idea in its discipline. Research
articles often include a section on ―further research‖ where they discuss the
contributions their research has made and what future contributions they hope
to make.

5. Use examples for each point. Back up your assertions with evidence from your
text or work that support your claim about each point. For example, if you were
critiquing a novel and found the writing dull, you might provide a particularly boring
quotation as evidence, and then explain why the writing did not appeal to you.

8|Page
Writing the Conclusion Paragraph and References
1. State your overall assessment of the work. This should be a statement about
the overall success of the work. Did it accomplish the creator’s goal or purpose? If so,
how did it achieve this success? If not, what went wrong?

2. Summarize your key reasons for this assessment. While you should have
already presented evidence for your claims in the body paragraphs, you should
provide a short restatement of your key reasons here. This could be as simple as one
sentence that says something like ―Because of the researcher’s attention to detail, careful
methodology, and clear description of the results, this article provides a useful
overview of topic X.‖

3. Recommend any areas for improvement, if appropriate. Your assignment or


prompt will usually say if recommendations are appropriate for the critique. This
element seems to be more common when critiquing a research article or media item,
but it could also apply to critiques of creative works as well.

4. Provide a list of references. How you present these will depend on your
instructor’s preferences and the style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) that is appropriate to your
discipline. However you format this list, you should always include all the sources
you used in your critique.

Critiquing Strategies

Writing the Introductory Paragraph:

1. Give the fundamental data about the work. The primary section is first
experience with the work, and you should give the fundamental data about it in this
passage. This data will incorporate the creator's or maker's name(s), the title of the
work, and the date of its creation.
For a work of fiction or a distributed work of news-casting or exploration,
this data is typically accessible in the distribution itself, for example, on
the copyright page for a novel.
For a film, you may wish to allude to a source, for example, IMDb to get
the data you need. In case you're investigating an acclaimed work of art, a
reference book of craftsmanship would be a decent spot to discover data
on the maker, the title, and significant dates (date of creation, date of
presentation, and so on.).

2. Give a setting to the work. The kind of setting you give will differ dependent on what
sort of work you're assessing. You should expect to give the peruser some comprehension
of what gives the maker or creator may have been reacting to, however you don't have to
give a thorough history. Simply give your peruser enough data.

• For model, in case you're surveying an exploration article in technical


disciplines, a speedy review of its place in the scholastic conversation
could be valuable (e.g., "Educator X's work on natural product flies is
important for a long examination custom on Blah.")

• If you are assessing a painting, giving some short data on where it was
first shown, for whom it was painted, and so forth., would be helpful.

9|Page
• If you are evaluating a novel, it could be acceptable to discuss what class
or artistic convention the novel is composed inside (e.g., dream, High
Modernism, sentiment). You may likewise need to incorporate insights
regarding the creator's history that appear to be especially pertinent to
your scrutinize.

• For a media thing, for example, a news story, think about the social and
additionally political setting of the news source the thing originated from
(e.g., Fox News, BBC, and so forth.) and of the issue it is managing (e.g.,
migration, instruction, amusement).

3. Sum up the maker's objective or reason in making the work. This component
ought to consider what the proposal or motivation behind the work is. In some cases,
this might be obviously expressed, for example, in an examination article. For
different writings or inventive works, you may need to define what you accept to be
the maker's objective or reason yourself.

• The writers of exploration articles will frequently state obviously in the


theoretical and in the prologue to their work what they are examining,
regularly with sentences that state something like this: "In this article we
give another system to breaking down X and contend that it is better than
past techniques as a result of reason An and reason B."

• For inventive works, you might not have an explanation from the creator
or maker about their motivation, however you can frequently deduce one
from the setting the work involves. For instance, in the event that you
were looking at the film The Shining, you may contend that the producer
Stanley's Kubrick will likely point out the helpless treatment of Native
Americans on account of the solid Native American topics present in the
film. You could then present the reasons why you believe that in the
remainder of the paper.

4. Sum up the central matters of the work. Depict, quickly, how the central
matters are made. For instance, you may discuss a work's utilization of characters or
imagery to portray its point about society, or you could discuss the exploration
questions and theories in a diary article.

• For model, on the off chance that you were expounding on The Shining,
you could sum up the primary concerns thusly: "Stanley Kubrick utilizes
solid imagery, for example, the position of the film's inn on an Indian
cemetery, the naming of the inn "Disregard," and the steady nearness of
Native American fine art and portrayal, to point out watchers' America's
treatment of Native Americans ever."
5. Present your underlying evaluation. This will fill in as your proposition explanation
and should make a case about the work's overall adequacy and additional handiness. Is
your assessment going to be essentially certain, negative, or blended?

• For an examination article, you will likely need to concentrate your


proposition on whether the exploration and conversation upheld the

10 | P a g e
writers' cases. You may likewise wish to study the exploration technique,
if there are clear blemishes present.
• For imaginative works, consider what you accept the creator or maker's
objective was in making the work, and afterward present your appraisal
of whether they accomplished that objective.

Social occasion Evidence:

1. Question whether the essayist's general message is sensible. Test the theory
and contrast it with other comparative models.
• Even if a creator has done research and cited regarded specialists,
investigate the message for its reasonableness and certifiable application.

• Examine the creator's acquaintance and end with ensure they coordinate
as persuading and reciprocal components.

2. Quest the article for any inclinations, regardless of whether deliberate or


unexpected. In the event that the writer has anything to pick up from the ends
exhibited in the article, it's conceivable that some predisposition has been illustrated.

• Bias incorporates disregarding opposite proof, misusing proof to cause


ends to seem not quite the same as they are, and granting one's own,
unwarranted feelings on a book. All around sourced assessments are
consummately OK, however those without scholarly help have the right
to be met with an incredulous eye.

• Bias can likewise originate from a position of partiality. Note any


inclinations identified with race, nationality, sexual orientation, class, or
governmental issues.

3. Think about the creator's translations of different writings. The writer makes
a case about another's work, perused the first work and check whether you concur
with the examination given in the article. Complete the understanding is clearly
redundant or even likely; yet consider whether the creator's translation is solid.

• Note any irregularities between your understanding of a book and the


writer's translation of a book. Such clash may prove to be fruitful when it
comes time to compose your audit.

• See what different researchers need to state. In the event that few
researchers from assorted foundations have a similar supposition about
a content, that assessment ought to be given more weight than a
contention with little help.
4. Notice if the creator refers to deceitful proof. Does the creator refer to an
immaterial book from fifty years prior that no longer holds weight in the current order? If
the author cites unreliable sources, is greatly diminishes the credibility of the article.

5. Don't totally overlook expressive components. The substance of the article is


likely the most significant angle for your abstract investigate, yet don't disregard the
formal and additionally scholarly methods that the writer may utilize. Focus on dark

11 | P a g e
word decisions and the writer's tone all through the article. This is especially useful
for non-logical articles managing parts of writing, for instance.

• These parts of an article can uncover further issues in the bigger


contention. For instance, an article written in a warmed, overeager tone
may be overlooking or declining to draw in with opposing proof in its
examination.
• Always look into the meanings of new words. A word's definition can totally
change the significance of a sentence, particularly if a specific word has a
few definitions. Question why a creator picked one specific word rather than
another, and it may uncover something about their contention.

• These parts of an article can uncover further issues in the bigger


contention. For instance, an article written in a warmed, exuberant
tone may be overlooking or declining to draw in with opposing proof in
its investigation.

• Always look into the meanings of new words. A word's definition can
totally change the significance of a sentence, particularly if a specific
word has a few definitions. Question why a creator picked one
specific word rather than another, and it may uncover something
about their contention.
6. Question research techniques in logical articles. If critiquing an article
containing a scientific theory, be sure to evaluate the research methods behind
the experiment. Ask yourself inquiries, for example, these:
• Does the creator detail the strategies completely?

• Is the examination planned without significant blemishes?


• Is there an issue with the example size?
• Was a benchmark group made for correlation?
• Are all of the statistical calculations correct?

• Would another gathering have the option to copy the test being
referred to?
• Is the test noteworthy for that specific field of study?

7. Burrow profound. Utilize your current information, taught assessments, and any
exploration you can assemble to either uphold or differ with the writer's article.
Give exact contentions to help your position.

• While there is nothing of the sort as an excessive amount of good


proof, over-sourcing can likewise be an issue if your contentions
become dull. Ensure each source gives something remarkable to
your investigate.

• Additionally, don't permit your utilization of sources to swarm out your


own assessments and contentions.

12 | P a g e
8. Recall that a study doesn't need to be altogether certain or negative. An
author scholarly evaluates and never differs with the creator; rather, they
expand upon or confuse the creator's thought with extra proof.

• If you do concur completely with the creator, in this way, try to


expand upon the contention either by giving extra proof or entangling
the creator's thought.

• You can give conflicting proof to a contention while as yet keeping


up that a specific perspective is the right one.
• Don't "relax" on the creator because of misinformed sympathy; yet
neither should you be unnecessarily negative trying to
demonstrate your basic bona fides. Powerfully express your solid
purposes of understanding and difference.

Formatting Your Critique


1. Begin with an introduction that outlines your argument. The introduction
should be no more than two paragraphs long and should lay out the basic
framework for your critique. Start off by noting where the article in question fails or
succeeds most dramatically and why.
• Be sure to include the name of the author, article title, the journal or
publication the article appeared in, the publication date, and a statement
about the focus and/or thesis of the article in your introductory paragraph(s).
• The introduction is not the place to provide evidence for your opinions.
Your evidence will go in the body paragraphs of your critique.
• Be bold in your introductory assertions and make your purpose clear right
off the bat. Skirting around or not fully committing to an argument lessens
your credibility.

2. Provide evidence for your argument in the body paragraphs of your critique.
Each body paragraph should detail a new idea or further expand your
argument in a new direction.
• Begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence that summarizes the
content of the paragraph to come. Don't feel like you have to condense the
entire paragraph into the topic sentence, however. This is purely a place to
transition into a new or somehow different idea.
• End each body paragraph with a transitional sentence that hints at, though
does not explicitly state, the content of the paragraph coming next. For
example, you might write, "While John Doe shows that the number of cases
of childhood obesity is rising at a remarkable rate in the U.S., there are
instances of dropping obesity rates in some American cities." Your next
paragraph would then provide specific examples of these anomalous cities
that you just claimed exist.

3. Complicate your argument near the end of the critique. No matter how solid
your argument is, there is always at least one dramatic way in which you can provide
a final twist or take your argument one step further and suggest possible
implications. Do this in the final body paragraph before your conclusion to leave the
reader with a final, memorable argument.

13 | P a g e
• You might, for instance, utilize a counterargument, in which you anticipate
a critique of your critique and reaffirm your position. Use phrases like
―Admittedly,‖ ―It is true that,‖ or ―One might object here‖ to identify the
counterargument. Then, answer these possible counters and turn back to
your strengthened argument with ―but,‖ ―yet,‖ or ―nevertheless.‖

4. Present your arguments in a well-reasoned, objective tone. Avoid writing in an


overzealous or obnoxiously passionate tone, as doing so can be a turn-off to many
readers. Let your passion shine through in your ability to do thorough research and
articulate yourself effectively.

• While writing ―This piece of garbage is an insult to historians everywhere‖ might


garner attention, ―This article falls short of the standards for scholarship in this
area of historical study‖ is more likely to be taken seriously by readers.

5. Conclude your critique by summarizing your argument and suggesting


potential implications. It is important to provide a recap of your main points
throughout the article, but you also need to tell the reader what your critique means
for the discipline at large.
• Are there broad implications for the field of study being assessed, or does
your critique simply attempt to debunk the messy work of another scholar?
• Do your best to make a lasting mark on the reader in the conclusion by
using assertive language to demonstrate the importance of your work: ―Challenging
the claims of such a distinguished scholar is no easy or enjoyable task, but it
is a task we all must agree to do for our generation and those to follow.‖

Covid 19: Reactions Note


By: Jean M. Dizon

In any emergency, pioneers have two similarly significant duties: tackle the
prompt issue and shield it from happening once more. The Covid-19 pandemic is a
valid example. We have to spare lives now while likewise improving the manner in
which we react to episodes as a rule. The primary point is additionally squeezing,
however the second has pivotal long haul outcomes.

We additionally need to put resources into illness reconnaissance, including a


case data set that is immediately open to applicable associations, and rules expecting
nations to share data. Governments ought to approach arrangements of prepared staff,
from nearby pioneers to worldwide specialists, who are set up to manage a pestilence
promptly, just as arrangements of provisions to be accumulated or diverted in a crisis.
Also, we have to fabricate a framework that can create protected, compelling
immunizations and antivirals, get them endorsed, and convey billions of dosages inside a
couple of months after the disclosure of a quick moving microbe. That is an intense test
that presents specialized, discretionary, and budgetary impediments, just as requesting
organization between the general population and private segments. In any case, every
one of these obstructions can be survived.

Therefore, governments should back the acquisition and conveyance of


antibodies to the populaces that need them. Billions of pesos for anti-pandemic
endeavors is a ton of cash. Yet, that is the size of venture needed to take care of the
issue. What's more, given the monetary torment that a scourge can force — we're
now perceiving how Covid-19 can disturb flexibly chains and securities exchanges,
also individuals' lives — it will be a deal.
