Critical Literature Review Assignments
N.B. Papers are due by midday of the Tuesday before the Wednesday class. Please submit them via turnitin.com.
The aims of these particular assignments are to demonstrate:
- an understanding of the readings for the topic you are writing on;
- an ability to critically engage with those readings, both individually and as they relate to each other;
- to foster a better class discussion that is both more interesting and more valuable for the group to learn from.
In the interests of further pursuing the latter aim of improving class discussion, paper writers should come to class with one argument of their own relating to the readings that they can put to the group. It should not be a simple ‘I agree with X’, but rather an argument that is supported by theoretical and/or empirical case that you can make. We will discuss these as a group.
Discussants are also intended to play an important role towards foster helpful class discussions. As such, each discussant is expected to attend class with at least one critique of the paper they have been assigned. These will be talked over in class, and the paper-writers given the chance to respond to the critique.
N.B. Classes are intended to be collaborative and supportive environments. It is entirely consistent with this to question the claims or arguments made by others – be it anonymously of published scholars or in person amongst your class-mates. The ability to critique constructively is important both within academia – where it is an extremely important skill – and beyond in the wider world of work.
