Critical Outline Assignment
This is a small 2 page assignment for a 3rd year political science course.
Length is to be of 2 pages and 1.5 spaced
A critical Outline is a brief evaluation of selected course readings. You may choose one article/book chapter to use for your critical outline. Please read and follow the following properly!
A critical outline requires that you exercise a judgment. Given the limited size and scopeof the critical outlines, you cannot simply regurgitate what you read. You must carefullyselect the most important parts, given what you take to be the key arguments, concepts,conclusions and events, while leaving yourself enough space to offer your ownassessment. As a rule, spend one-third to half of your outline on summary and interpretation, and the remainder on analysis.
1. You may choose one article/book chapter to use for your critical outlines. (Please mention the selected topic) (Book will be attached)
2.Outline: What is the author’s principal argument? What is s/he trying to make us believe? Is this material controversial in any way? In other words, is it subject to different views andinterpretations? Based on what evidence or which arguments are we asked to believe thematerials presented? Finally, is that evidence persuasive or not? Do you accept theauthor’s conclusions? If so, why or why not?
3. Please ensure the assignment is written in mature, formal academic English appropriate for a 3rd-year university course. The writing should avoid casual language, be well-structured, and demonstrate clear critical thinking.
