GE 2.06 and on Teams.

Within this session we will discuss easily memorable approaches to engaging in critical thinking around your own reading of published research, with a view to building skills and abilities in critiquing work ahead of incorporation into your own thesis. To complement this, we will engage in the critical reading and deconstruction of an easy to read paper from linguistics, exploring how even published papers of limited value and argumentation can be published, and the danger in relying on, or trusting everything written in black and white. Derek (who is running the class) will provide the paper for reading and critiquing at least a week before the session, so please ensure you have signed up well in advance in order to receive the paper for critique.
