back to handouts menu by Susan Katz and Jennie Skerl When college professors ask you to write a critique of a text, they usually expect you to analyze and evaluate, not just summarize. A summary merely reports what the text said; that is, it answers only the question, "What did the author say?" A critique, on the other hand, analyzes, interprets, and evaluates the text, answering the questions how? why? and how well? A critique does not necessarily have to criticize the piece in a negative sense. Your reaction to the text may be largely positive, negative, or a combination of the two. It is important to explain why you respond to the text in a certain way. Step 1. Analyze the text As you read the book or article you plan to critique, the following questions will help you analyze the text: What is the author's main point? What is the author's purpose? Who is the author's intended audience? What arguments does the author use to support the main point?

Resume critiques and resume help by a Certified Professional Resume Writer R ESUME C RITIQUES.COM Steven M. Burt Certified Professional Resume Writer Home Services Resources Contact Welcome! At Resume Critiques.com I'll give you the guidance and knowledge you need on how to make your resume a strong job searching tool. You'll find the writing help you need, doing what you can yourself and using my writing help only where you need it. Resume Critiques Let me ask you a question: If you could pay a CPA $30 to review your tax return and give you advice on specific changes to make, would you choose that route rather than paying hundreds of dollars to have the CPA do all the work? Well, that's how I want to help you with your resume writing efforts. Although I've written thousands of successful resumes for clients over the past 20 years, my primary goal at Resume Critiques.com is not to write my clients' resumes for them but to give them the tools and information they need to rewrite their resumes themselves. We begin with a critique of your existing document. Most clients require no further help on their resumes after their critiques have been completed. For those who do, I'm available to provide additional assistance including reformatting, writing, and editing. I also offer a variety of other services once your resume is finished including ASCII text file conversions for use in e-mail and job board submittals and Web page resumes. The point is that I'm here to help you in a number of ways to build your resume and market yourself, but you only have to avail yourself of the specific services you need and nothing more. I've done hundreds of resume critiques. Most clients find the critique is all the help they need . . . and that's just fine with me. If you'd like more assistance than that, I'm always here to help.

34. Guidelines For Writing A Critique Guidelines for writing a critique by Janet Kent. Critiquing the work of others helps you become a better writer. There is no mystery to writing a good critique. http://www.writelinks.com/Creative/Articles/crea01_04.htm

Guidelines for Writing a Critique by Janet Kent "An evaluation of a written work by a person who, through experience and knowledge of the marketplace, has acquired expertise to judge it objectively. Valuable criticism comes from editors and writers skilled in pointing out strengths and weaknesses in fiction and nonfiction technique. A part of receiving criticism is tied up with being able to distinguish between helpful comments from professionals, and well-meaning but useless or possibly harmful comments from other people who may read the manuscript and in using the significant remarks accordingly." A good critique benefits both the writer and the critiquer. The benefits to the writer receiving the critique should be obvious. There is no place for derision or ridicule of either the work or the writer within a critique. The writer submitting his work for critique has placed his intellectual child in the hands of his critiquer expecting his work to be respected. Critiquing the work of others helps you become a better writer. There is no mystery to writing a good critique. The following pointers may help improve your skills with this important element of the craft.

36. How To Write An Effective Critique Of A Paper writing your main points in your critique is a way for both you and all of us to think about the topic ahead of time. Primary Questions. http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~comp540/critique.html

How to write an effective critique of a paper The following is adapted from Carlo Tomasi's excellent guide to writing paper reviews. Here are some of the items that should appear in your paper critiques. However, it is up to you to add to these elements anything you deem useful, interesting, or fun. In your critique, provide a set of issues or questions to lead off a discussion. This can be done by asking a series of questions about the paper, or by advocating strong opinions for or against a given method. This item is important for our class discussions. Writing your main points in your critique is a way for both you and all of us to think about the topic ahead of time. Primary Questions Put the complete and correct citation for the paper on the critique. Summarize the paper in a few sentences at the beginning of your critique. This should be your own summary. Elaborate on your synopsis with a brief summary of the paper, highlighting what is new, what is old, and what is important. Sometimes definitions or brief explanations of difficult or technical aspects of the paper are appropriate. State in what way this paper contributes to our understanding of the problem addressed by it. For instance, does the paper describe a mathematical technique from a different field? If so, how can we use it for a task, and what modifications are we likely to have to make? Are these modifications trivial, or are major breakthroughs needed? If the paper describes a system, what is useful about it? How can we improve on it?

Home FAQs News Writing Courses ... For Faculty The Book Review or Article Critique: General Guidelines An analytic or critical review of a book or article is not primarily a summary; rather, it comments on and evaluates the work in the light of specific issues and theoretical concerns in a course. (To help sharpen your analytical reading skills, see our file on Critical Reading .) The literature review puts together a set of such commentaries to map out the current range of positions on a topic; then the writer can define his or her own position in the rest of the paper. Keep questions like these in mind as you read, make notes, and write the review. What is the specific topic of the book or article? What overall purpose does it seem to have? For what readership is it written? (The preface, acknowledgements, bibliography and index can be helpful in answering these questions. Don't overlook facts about the author's background and the circumstances of the book's creation and publication.) Does the author state an explicit thesis? Does he or she noticeably have an axe to grind? What are the theoretical assumptions? Are they discussed explicitly? (Again, look for statements in the preface, etc. and follow them up in the rest of the work.) What exactly does the work contribute to the overall topic of your course? What general problems and concepts in your discipline and course does it engage with?

39. Writer And Critique Group A writer and critique group can be helpful, know how to get all you can from it. The writing group will help you prepare for any type of critique. http://wy.essortment.com/writercritique_rdpc.htm

Writer and critique group A writer and critique group can be helpful, know how to get all you can from it. If you're at all interested in writing, whether it's poetry, screenwriting, playwriting, novel writing or just about any type of creative writing, you've probably considered joining a writers' group. There are many different kinds of writers' groups. There are professionally organized groups that cost a fee each month or you can save some money and organize one yourself. Whichever way you go about it, you want to make sure that the group you join fulfills your needs and nurtures your craft. Since most writers who are just starting out, have little money to burn, I will be focusing on the "free" writers' group, the one you put together yourself. bodyOffer(27026) If you're like me, you would probably rather face a vicious Pit Bull than have your work critiqued by others. However, if you can survive it, you will posess great strength and confidence to face almost anything. After all, agents, producers and editors won't be as kind when it comes to your work. The writing group will help you prepare for any type of critique. The better you are able to handle critique, the stronger a writer you'll be. So just how do you get a writers' group started? Well the best and easiest way is to start with people you know. I started a group with two people from work, and two people I knew from college. Those people then brought in a few people they knew. It's better to start off this way because you all know each other. It's hard enough exposing your personal work. You'll find that it's easier to do it with people you know and trust, rather than with total strangers.
