Assignment 1: Rhetorical Précis Due 21.10 by 17h.
Perform an exploratory literature search related to your thesis topic. If your topic isn’t defined, the search should be performed on an area of interest within your field. From the search results, select two articles you feel to be important to developing your work. If you have already completed part (or all) of your literature review, you can select two papers from that work, if you wish.
Then, in a single document, write a Rhetorical Précis about each article. Include a formatted citation of each article. Make sure the document includes your name.
* there are many examples of rhetorical precís online, but the one at linked above (via the wayback machine because the original is no longer available) is what I have in mind - the 4 sentence version. There are other guides for doing a 4-sentence precís, but the one above is specific for science, and somehow sentimental for me since its from my alma mater, the one learned from, and it harkens back to the web's distant past in terms of functionality. Hover over those red marks for more info.
