Overview
Reading Analysis Assignment:
Submit a 3-4 page, double-spaced critical analysis of the assigned reading, which is provided as an attachment. The analysis should include a brief summary of the material that is no more than one page (ideally just one paragraph) at the beginning of the paper. For the remainder of the critical analysis, thoroughly critique the author's content and analyze how the readings are or are not relatable to one another by answering the following questions:
- What types of assumptions are made, and are they reasonable?
- Are there claims made that are logically inconsistent?
- How persuasive is the development of the case? Is it defensible, given the evidence? Is the argument plausible?
- Can you synthesize this material with other research to advance a theory or explanation for a current public affairs issue?
- What is the pragmatic meaning of the work? (For instance, if we believed what the author is saying, what difference would it make to our existing stock of ideas, working hypotheses, and the practice of public administration?)
