The goal of the critical analysis essay is to make a convincing argument that addresses the issue/problem you have chosen to research, and uses strong evidence to support your analysis and conclusion. Once you have gathered valid research (Assignment 2a), and planned your argument in detail (Assignment 2b), you should be able to sit down and begin writing your essay, using the previous two assignments as your guide.
The body of your essay must be 1500-1750 words long. This does not include the title page, abstract, headings, or references page.
