How do I evaluate an argument in a post?

How strong is the author's logic?

  • Does the evidence support the blogger's claims?
  • Do the blogger's conclusions follow logically from the analysis?

What is the blogger's rhetorical purpose (e.g., to persuade, inform, describe)?

  • Does the blogger's word choice and language expose this goal?
  • Is more than one viewpoint fully represented and fairly considered?

How does this source fit?

  • Does this add a different point of view?
  • Does this make sense, given what I already know?
