The goal of a review essay is to take stock of the assigned readings, by discussing and critiquing various arguments/sides about a phenomenon/issue area. Review essays should be about 3-5 double-spaced pages with paragraph structure, in-text citations, and a bibliography, not to mention correct grammar and spelling. Review essays (but not the grades or my comments) may be shared with the class and should be seen as a useful tool for preparing for more specialized MSIR courses and your capstone. The essays should try to bring together the literature by finding common ideas as well as discussing the differences. This means I expect you to cite multiple readings from the course in each essay. You are also highly encouraged to make connections between different weeks readings.

This should not be just a summary of each reading as a separate entity. It is best to organize a review essay thematically. Thus, rather than simply outlining one authors argument in one paragraph, and a second authors argument in another, you should focus on ideas. A good tip for doing this is to look at question stems based on Blooms Taxonomy of learning. A review essay should focus on higher-order learning, especially questions about application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
