When your teachers have talked about what you need to do, you’ve read about how to write a critical review, and you’ve watched videos about how to write a critical review but you still have no idea what you’re supposed to do 😐
It’s very frustrating to put so much effort into learning and to still feel lost. 🙁
I agree
same
This is so me right now
my actual struggle right now - this is frustrating
Throwing the great energy towards the students of the future, thank you sir.

In my literary analysis class, we had to write critical analysis papers using the lens of various critical theories. This was very hard for me because I didn't agree with any of the theories, so my papers felt like lies. Needless to say, I got a c in that class and developed a distain for critical theories.

I struggle finding the authors thesis statement. I guess because it may or may not be in the article is what confuses me.
I spent all day today reading and messing with my article and as lost as when I started.
You said to identify my own claim to prove my point for my thesis Statment. How should it start?
Thankyou :) very helping
Laraib Hameed You’re welcome. Thank you!
Could you please tell me what should I write in the conclusion of a critical analysis essay? For example, in the main body, I write an argument, I provide evidence, and then I critically analyse this evidence and so on..

Amazing to see even collegiate level students struggling with writing a thesis statement. I found using the phrase "main claim" and ""sub claims" can be a nice way to break it down for students.
Great video. Thanks for sharing! 😎

My uni has set a portfolio which includes 2 critical analysis’ limited to 500 words a piece. The first is one my lecturer set and the second is one we found ourselves with 3 posting a alternative argument which is relevant to the source material or similar my issue is is it possible to be clear, concise and still build a good argument with only 500 words and about 4 different scientific articles? We are a foundation year so this is all pretty daunting and has me slightly panicked what would be the best way you could advise to approach this that wasn’t mentioned in the video?
+dozeyfreak14 It’s not a lot of space to work. I’d suggest making sure every word counts. Summarize sources quickly, bring up effective examples, and make sure to bring up relevant insight. Good luck!
Hey I have to writer a three page paper on the Jon Stewart speech which is the statement to the house judiciary committee on the September 11th victim compensation fund. I need to critique and identify the main arguments to determine wheather of not the speaker was successful in making his point by identifying the logical fallacies
Did you find any logical fallacies?
Thank you! ... would you mind to recommend an example of a very good critical analysis essay... please?
ua-cam.com/video/30qds1uK458/v-deo.html
Well the problem I have is that my teacher is asking for a psychological criticism essay on a short story by Edgar Allen poe. Which makes no sense whatsoever if this is the definition of a critical analysis essay
thanks alot sir
You're welcome!
My problem is because I have an assigned topic, and a topic question. It’s Shakespeare’s Othello. I truly feel like I need to make a video someday about this…
The difference between essay types is not clear and it becomes difficult to find the distinction. I am upgrading and to write a second critical analysis I still don’t understand how it differs. I understand the terms, but the content of what my essay needs to contain is so lost to me.
Essays don’t have objective rules. Each teacher may expect something different. If possible, I’d recommend asking your teacher for clarification on their expectations. Generally speaking, a critical analysis requires looking for insights into the text, reading deeply, and using examples to explain your analysis. Some teachers may want something more specific though. Only they can clarify what.
I have a CARL essay tomorrow and I'm so nervous because most of my essays pulled down my 90 average to 75 :(
Thank you so much for this! It's a big help.
Question: what are the rules when writing CARL? like the verb tenses for example or the use of third person pronouns. My teacher's comment are always about the consistency of my verb tenses 😅 I'm not sure what is right anymore
+Jane Doe I’m honestly not familiar with the term CARL essay, but I found this for you: www.scribd.com/doc/245527156/writing-a-carl I hope it helps! As far as verb tenses go, I’d suggest you try to stay consistent. If you are telling a story in the past, try to avoid switching to present tense. Good luck!
Thank you for your tips it was really hopeful .. is it possible to use those steps you mentioned to write a critical analysis about an exhibition or an event !!
+Aissa Aouf Feel free to use those steps anyway that is helpful to you! I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for telling me.
@@rwc Thank you so much for posting the videos. Can I use this method to write a literature review about a theory? I have to write 9-10 pages of anything and I chose a lit review but I'm not sure if I can argue and prove a point when looking at the literature of others? Is it okay to articulate my opinion and bring my own examples?
@@sarahha6523 Literature reviews are a little bit different. In general, they are intended to review what the literature says as a whole and when synthesized with each other. It may be relevant (check with your teacher) to add analysis, but they are not persuasive. That's a different kind of paper. Make sure you are following your teacher's guidelines, but the basic critical analysis structure can be used just about anywhere. You just want to use analysis rather than persuasion. Support everything you say with the understanding that you're job is to present information, not persuade anything. Good luck!
Hi, can I ask how to make/build a title for my critical analysis paper? And in what format should I follow in writing, will it include sub-headings or roman numerals to part the sections? I'm very hoping that you could answer my question. Thank you & stay safe.
If it’s a paper for school, you probably don’t need a subheading. That’s more common for published papers. I’d suggest a title that describes what the paper is about. Then use “Title Case” for capitalization.
Is position paper the same with a critical essay? I was wondering because my practice teacher said so. Can you clear out the difference please because I'm doubting her 😓
ua-cam.com/video/30qds1uK458/v-deo.html
Very quick question, a Critical Analysis essay, are you allowed to agree with the other writer? Or do you have to dislike it.
You can absolutely agree. The point is that you analyze the work-not that you disagree with it. If you analyze it and it’s good, then agree. If it’s bad, then disagree. Either way, you need to be able to explain why.
Thank u soo much
+Marthy Girma You’re welcome! I’m so glad it helped!
Great..currently I’m taking a class, the question is ,, ex prole the validity that social learning theory prides the best explanation for gender differences,, and write a plan for how you would write it .. honestly .... I’m not the only one confused in this class of mine... could you give me an advice ?
+Kardash Znavourek That’s more complicated than simply analyzing an essay. Writing about literary theory takes practice. In short, theories are like perspectives to look at writing with. Make sure you understand the theory and then apply that perspective to the text in question.
hello sir, i have to write a 2500 words critical review on a topic.....I feel lost as to where to start from...do i have to read as many research papers related to my topic..if so then after reading on what basis will i start writing the essay because all topics will deal with different issue,so how do i begin writing? kindky help.
With a paper that long, my students typically use about 10 sources. I’d find sources then decide my thesis. From there, it’s all about supporting the thesis with your sources.
my topic is to give a critical assessment of exercise being a treatment for type 2 diabtes. how can i approach it?
Maybe you can look at how effective it is for different groups of people who have type 2 diabetes to see how practical it is as a solution 🤷🏼♂️
do u have a exercise how to comprehend a text, or how to get the principal idea?. Thanks.
+G Steban Gomez I don’t. I’m sorry. Maybe I can do something like that in the future.
keep it up sir :)

I don't even have to do a critical analysis but I heard that it's a tough shit so I came here to see how much people are suffering 😏...
And it completely makes me feel so much better to know people feel the same as I do about writing an critical analysis essay because I felt so dumb for a minute.
Could u pls tell me how to do a critical review of journal article.
+Thushee fer This video should explain it. How you analyze a text doesn’t change that much from source to source. The basics are the same. You read the text carefully and discuss what insights you have. Don’t say “I think” or “I feel” or “I believe.” Don’t Terence yourself at all. Just state your observations as facts and back then up with explanations from the text and outside sources. This works for journal articles as well as other kinds of sources. As part of your critique, you may focus on the author’s purpose and how well he or she accomplished their purpose.
This had made my writing better. Thank you.
+Viola Kabigabwa Wonderful!
"Don't make an argument that you cannot justify."
Is this the same sort of technique to be followed for a law essay?
+Kainaat Zahra These techniques are pretty standard, but I have no experience in teaching law so I’m not sure. Probably.
thank you for this video ! I would ask you, can we use "I think" ? or is better to use less personalis
ed forms ?
Maryfuckwar I’d suggest making it as less about what you think, feel, or believe as possible. Unless you are an expert on the topic, saying what you think limits your perspective to you. When you state your perspective as fact and back it up, it can be more persuasive. Make sense?
Does rhoritical and critical analysis are similar?
They overlap in a lot of ways
I have to write a Critical Analysis of a 38 pager (20,000 words) research thesis in about 750-1000 words, not sure from where to begin? Also, is there any specific format to be followed?

Like many academic You Tubers you address this 'critical analysis essay' challenge with broad generalisations. It is not surprising that many of the student comments below show that this method of explanation does not work. After 40 years of teaching literature at an old English university I have found it can ONLY be taught be showing students 'worked examples' of essays, written on real texts. If you were to take a familiar poem and go through the 'process' of analysis and essay-composition your students would have a much better chance of understanding what you are trying to teach them. A picture says more than a thousand words. And a 'worked example' of a skill - a demonstration, in fact - is worth more than a thousand words of untethered generalisations. Best of luck to you and your You Tube followers.
I appreciate your comment. Have you considered making videos for your students?
@@rwc A very reasonable question, if I may say so! I have not made videos because I have a speech impediment which would make me sound very odd in a video. I manage in class and in small group events : students get used to my quirks. So I do not make teaching videos. I suggest teachers should simply set themselves a critical assessment task, talk the class through the thinking and research process - and then give them the essay the teacher has written. I find that after the second teacher-led demonstration everyone gets the message and starts to produce good work. The best students produce excellent work. (BTW I make the same recommendation to teachers of other Humanities subjects where essay-writing is important.)
@@brianh5075 I developed a stutter after I started teaching about 12 years ago. It usually doesn't show up during a lesson, fortunately. I agree that examples are a great way to teach. As I add more videos, I can focus on that as well. I appreciate your suggestions.
