Part A - To prepare for this assignment:
• Consider examples of writing that you have read that showed indications of personal opinions and bias. Did these examples cause you to question the quality of the writing and/or the evidence on which the writing was based?
• Read the following paragraph and analyze it for the author's strengths and weaknesses in terms of scholarly writing, bias, opinion, quality of evidence, and appropriateness to its target audience:
"One of the great breakthroughs in the past 50 years has been the widespread availability of the personal computer. This powerful learning tool has revolutionized everything from commerce to education and changed the very way everyone conducts his or her daily lives. And most notably, where only a few years ago people wrote about the "digital divide" between those could afford computers and those who could not, there is almost no discussion along these lines any longer. And, in fact, why would there be? Poor people can now save enough to buy their families a computer for home and school use. In fact, an article in Business Week in 2001 estimated that more than 80% of all high school students were "plugged in."
The assignment:
