book review

Each reflection paper should be based on a required reading or supplemental reading listed on the

syllabus and should be divided into three sections:

1. Thesis: State the author’s thesis in just a few sentences. Please limit this to one paragraph.

2. Three Main Points in Support of the Thesis: The bulk of the paper should outline the three main

points the author makes to support his/her thesis.

3. Critique: Your analysis on the strengths, weaknesses, or holes in the author’s arguments. What is

he/she leaving out? What are are implications of the argument? Are there problems with his/her

assumptions?
