Critical Analysis When Writing Worksheet With Answers Page 8

Academic Skills Advice

If a piece of academic text does not employ critical analysis, it tends to be descriptive.

(There other types of writing that is neither: narrative stories and poetry are two

examples) You may be given assignments in which you are asked to produce purely

descriptive writing, and some subjects ask for this type of writing to be so detailed that

the lines become blurred about where descriptive writing ends and where critical analytic

writing starts.

For further support on Critical Analysis, we run workshops on What is Critical Analysis?,

Critical Analytic Thinking and Critical Analysis whilst Reading. We also run specific

workshops on How to Read Journal Articles Critically. Please also refer to the books in the

list below.
