Research Workshop For your first post, upload your completed draft as either a Word doc or a PDF. For your second post, respond to two of your classmates by giving feedback regarding these items: Requirements: Do they have 1,750 words of text (doesn’t include the abstract or References)? Minimum of 5 sources (2-3 scholarly, 2-3 popular, 1 primary)? Is the paper formatted properly? Clear thesis/argument: Do they have a thesis that goes beyond description and makes an argument? Is it clear, and established early in the paper? Public Resonance: Do they have a clear notion of audience? Do they show the audience how this issue affects them, and why their research matters? Do they do it early to engage the interest of the reader? Ethos: Do they let credible sources provide definitions and context? Do they use their research to show they are familiar with the particulars of the discussion, and the legitimate points of tension? Focus/Logos: Does their line of reasoning proceed in a logical manner? Would you change anything about the order of the ideas presented? Does each section add to the paper in a meaningful way, or do some sections seem unnecessary (filler)? Research/Analysis: Assess the proportion of their research and commentary. Too few citations and research leads to a lack of ethos. Too many can mean there isn’t enough analysis and discussion, so assess this proportion. Counterargument: Do they present opposing views in a fair manner, without attacking straw persons? Do they demonstrate an understanding of the opposing view? Do they adequately address their objections? Developed Conclusion: The longer the paper and the information you present, the more you need to take some space to wind down the essay, showing the connections, discussing how you supported your thesis and leaving the reader with some food for thought or a call to action. Give the writer feedback on how effectively their conclusion addresses these items.
