Draft Workshop Form - October 7, 2004
1. My name is Nick and I read Ashkan’s paper.
2. What do you think are the most promising counter-arguments to the author’s claim? Have these counter-arguments been acknowledged and dealt with effectively in the paper?
The most promising counter-arguments were when the author stated that Senator Kerry’s views on health care did not seem to solve anything but on the other side President Bush brings up many ways to fix these flaws in health care. Overall President Bush just gives more ways to solve these key issues while Kerry only gives two. He does state how Bush does a better job of showing how he will make health care better although he could try and elaborate a little more on each subject.
3. Does the paper have a tight, cohesive and powerful thesis statement?
He has a working thesis which supports his paper, although he could spice it up a little more.
4. Does the author make use of the varied rhetorical strategies we discussed in class? Does the author overuse any particular strategy? Does s/he neglect any?
As a whole the paper was very good he uses various types of writing strategies that makes his writing strong.
5. Does the author support his or her assumptions and conclusions with authoritative evidence? Identify at least one point that might be supported by additional or alternative types of evidence.
He could use more evidence on the plans that Bush brings up, he could also elaborate on Kerry’s plans. I believe he should talk about each group health care effects and discuss the Presidents views on each.
