Read the articles within the Readings section for Module 1 and submit a review for each of the articles. Please make sure your review addresses:
-What is the basic argument made by the author(s)? What are its strengths?
-What are the weaknesses of the argument?
-If you disagree with an argument, what would it take to convince you?
-Are there critical differences between these authors' arguments and those of others we have read?
- What is the focal level of analysis?
- What are the key concepts?
-What are the underlying (implicit or explicit) assumptions made by the author(s)?
-What is the main causal mechanism / explanation?
-If they are inconsistent, could the difference be resolved, theoretically or empirically?
- What would be the ideal (albeit unrealistic) way to test this theory?
- [For empirical papers]: is the evidence convincing? Is the research design appropriate?
-Are there alternate explanations or lines of reasoning the authors omit?
