Summative Assessment: Deconstructing a Non-Scholarly Text
Wk 2 – Summative Assessment: Deconstructing a Non-Scholarly Text
assignment Content
This assignment will challenge you to identify the assumptions, context, situatedness, and embedded logic of an argument through the close reading of a non-scholarly text. This is not an exercise in determining whether the author is right or wrong in their position, as these value judgments are typically irrelevant to the purpose of scholarship. Instead, unearthing these components through an analytical process allows you to discover evidence of (conscious or unconscious) “decisions” made by the author in their writing. This evidence will (in turn) assist you in making valid, empirically driven claims regarding the text.
