Instruction
While communities of scholars strive to ensure quality in their disciplines, they also recognize a certain level of subjectivity in determining the quality of academic writing. Analyzing each author's quality of evidence, awareness of the target audience, and potential for personal bias will help you determine the appropriateness of books, articles, and other documents that you read. For this Assignment, you evaluate a scholarly article. As you review articles, consider the ways that the different backgrounds of the authors and their readers may affect both the creation and the interpretation of the writing.
To prepare:
Select an article from either the Walden Library or the Internet related to public policy and administration and your field of interest.
Consider how different audiences could interpret the selected article. Pay particular attention to the quality of evidence that the author presents.
