This section covers the topic of reading critically. It includes many valuable tactics on getting started on a research paper. Starting with a research question, work with sources for collecting information, come up with a thesis statement to enhance the paper, and document your sources. Critical reading helps with formulating judgments as to what information being researched is relevant to your stance on the position of the issues regarding the topic that you have chosen. It helps to shift your focus and begin to develop a strong position statement. While critical reading, you will attempt to determine what sources are reliable. These techniques will help to provide a convincing argument and help effectively present your information. Any supporting evidence provided will help illustrate your points.
Effectively organizing and formatting your document towards your audience while considering the requirements and limitations involved will be your guide as you form opinions. Challenge what you read to form your own conclusions. Interact with your sources while actively reading. This practice will help while you take notes on the information presented that you will use to support your understanding and stance on your topic. Your sources are important. You will need to make an accurate analysis of the information you are researching. Choose credible sources.
As you read, analyze and interpret the evidence. First skim the material to access the usefulness and relevance of the content. Then take a second pass to identify promising sections. Lastly, if the source is found to be valuable, reread important passages to gain a better understanding of the material. This will enable you to refine and support your argument.
