The best answers do not simply repeat what the text or the web-based lessons say but provide concise interpretations of the text and analysis of the authors’
arguments (i.e., analysis of the argument forms, and evaluation of its arguments). In general, critique provides some objections or testing of an author’s main thesis
or theory even if you go on to agree with the author. This testing can be done by use of standard logical techniques such as the following forms of refutation:
counterexamples, critique by parallel reasoning, critique by reduction to absurdity. Some of the authors from our assigned readings such as Blum and Shelby provide
examples of how to perform these techniques.
