Source Analysis Assignment

When you have found writing sources or examples in your discipline, analyze those and consider the following for each source you find:

  • What is its purpose?
  • To what audience(s) is it directed?
  • What genre of writing is it and why is it appropriate for the situation?
  • What are the conventions of the genre that help to identify it and analyze the specific piece of writing?
  • What other elements of the piece of writing can be identified and analyzed to understand more about what the writer is trying to do?
  • Start with the end – what do you think the writer intended for the reader to walk away thinking or knowing from this piece of writing?

Practicing this type of analysis helps make sense of a piece of writing and the rhetorical situation in which is it operating. Developing the ability to analyze writing concepts, that is to understand the purpose, audience, genre, context, etc., is helpful in understanding and developing our own writing more effectively.

  3. How should the audience use the information? What action should be taken or what is the audience asked to think about?
  4. What is its role in the larger discipline, potentially?
  5. What are the needs, values, or beliefs of the audience that the writer is working toward here? How is the writer appealing to the audience?
  6. Are any audiences excluded by the way the piece is written?
  7. How is information presented, formatted, arranged, and is it appropriate to the genre?
  8. What messages are intended, and are they clearly conveyed?
  9. Is there anything notable about the discourse used?
  10. What are the overall impressions of how each sample fits into the discipline or major? Is it surprising, or typical/expected of the major?
  11. How does each sample represent the major or discipline overall?
  12. Include any other analysis you want to share.

Writing Question

The purpose of this research assignment is to synthesize the research you have completed with your own ideas to produce an academic research essay suited to the academic context you identified in your topic proposal and your research bibliography. This assignment will also ask you to synthesize all of the skills we have learned in They Say, I Say.

The last step of a traditional research project is the written academic research essay. The genre of the academic research essay largely depends on your audience, discipline, and context. For instance, in biology, the result of an experiment is a published journal-style report. In psychology, you might produce case studies, a literature review, or the results of a study. In many disciplines, academics present conference papers or poster presentations. You will be assigned many academic research essays in your college career of varying lengths and academic styles.

For the academic research essay in this class, you will generate the “answer” to the research question you posed in your Topic Proposal by advancing a thesis statement that is supported by credible evidence (your research). You will choose from the sources you closely evaluated for the library activity and bibliography to advance your thesis in the essay. Your essay should have an original title.

Literature Review

Students will complete a formal literature review pertaining to Vaccination Reluctance and Public Health The literature review is the culminating document of the research you conducted for the annotated bibliography and the research proposal. The primary purpose of a literature review is to provide a review of the most important research (“literature”) related to a given topic and to compare and analyze that research and literature to give a complete picture of/background on the topic.

You will need a total of 10 sources (See sources below from original work). Think strategically about what kinds of sources you need in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of the topic in relation to the research question(s). You do not need to spend an equal amount of time analyzing and interpreting each source, but you do need to address each of them substantively in the literature review. This is the basis of all serious argumentation before scholars even make their actual argument.

  • Give a detailed overview of the topic in relation to your research question.
  • Analyze and critique the sources you have collected in a way that illuminates the topic in relation to your research question—be sure you’re giving a complete overview of the topic and perspectives on it, and be absolutely sure that your sources are substantive and highly credible.
  • What are the major perspectives on the topic? Which seem credible, and which do not—and why?
  • Is there disagreement among experts and/or practitioners about the topic? What is the nature of those disagreements? Does one case seem to have more evidence in its favor?
  • Is there particular misunderstanding about the topic on the part of the public? What is the nature of this misunderstanding? Why is there a gap between popular conceptions/misunderstandings and available information that is accurate?
  • In conclusion, propose an answer or answers to the primary research question, as your review of the literature gives evidence. This is your Research Proposal thesis. You will not dwell on proving your position but rather focus on what highly credible sources argue about the topic.
