About Critical Analysis:- Palgrave list the following SIX rules of Critical Analysis Rule 1: Identify the focus of the assignment - Good critical analysis isn't simply about writing. Before you start any assignment, you need to be clear about your focus Rule 2: Identify your own point of view - Be clear about your own perspective. Rule 3: Consider how you'll persuade other people of your point of view - The aim of an argument is to persuade your reader of your position, your conclusion. As such your point of view needs to be presented as a well-reasoned argument that leads to a conclusion based on evidence. This requires a line of reasoning, a set of reasons, presented in the most convincing and logical order, to support a conclusion. Rule 4: Find the proof - You may be able to list lots of reasons that support your conclusion - but are those reasons well founded? A good argument is based on solid evidence. Rule 5: Engage in debate -• Engage actively in debate with different points of view- both those that adopt a similar to your position to yours and those that are different Rule 6: Structure your argument - Having finalised your position the next step is to consider how you will organise your reasons and evidence into a clear structure For further details go to: http://www.palgrave.com/skills4study/pdfs/critical%20analysis%20.pdf
