all students will be required to turn in two things:

Question 1) A 250-500 word argument analysis of a paper of their choosing (anything assigned in the course). An analysis is not a summary of the paper but an analysis of the paper's main argument. The analysis should clearly state the author's thesis, which premises the authorargues from and how she reaches her conclusion. Analyses will be evaluated based primarily on accuracy and clarity of writing.

Question 2) A 250-500 word critical discussion of the argument. The critical discussion should raise substantive criticisms of the argument being discussed. Does the author argue from false premises? Do her premises not entail her conclusion? Are there potential objections to the argument that the author does not consider?
