University of the People ENGL 0101 English Composition 1 - Written Assignment Unit 5

Document Content and Description Below

Question: Your Written Assignment for this unit focuses on finding your own Abstract online (or using one of the abstracts provided to you) and, using the following list, answer the Critical Reading ... questions that were provided by Cumbria University. If your abstract does not allow you to answer the questions fully, then state why you are unable to give an answer to that particular question and what you would need from the abstract to answer the question. The questions to answer are: 1. What is the title of the text and what is the text about? 2. What is the author’s view? How do I know? 3. What is the evidence presented by the author to support ideas? 4. Is the evidence valid? How do I know? 5. Is the evidence relevant? How do I know? 6. Have I heard/read anything similar or dissimilar? What was it? 7. Do I agree or disagree with the views expressed by the author? Why? Remember: If you use a quote or paraphrase, you need to give the proper APA citations and references. This Written Assignment is assessed by your peers and will be for a grade. It will be judged mainly for the following: 1. Did the student answer all of the questions? 2. Did the student analyze the abstract? 3. Is it an original work? 4. Are there spelling or grammar issues? Please note that you will not necessarily be provided with assessment aspects during assignment submission periods in your other courses. [Show More]
