Here’s what we brainstormed in class Thursday — if I missed any or if you have suggested revisions, please let me know:
- developing more rigorous analytic skills
- makes a good longer-paper outline: what, how, why, for whom?
- forces us to be more clear and precise
- fundamental to critical thinking — you really have to get some critical distance
- forces us to slow down and really think about what we are reading: not just the what of the essay, but the how
Thanks for doing this!
