Expert
Analysis Section
Expert Analysis Section
In this section you will report on the different ways experts
have analyzed your topic.
In doing this it is important to distinguish between who is an
expert and who is not. Please see the other resources posted in this week's
section for more information about this.
It is also important to note that "analysis" is
different from "opinion." An opinion may be subjective or not
grounded in facts. An analysis is more rigorous than an opinion and has to fit
all the known facts about a topic. Please see the other resources posted in
this week's section for more information about this.
Your Expert Analysis Section should...
...describe some of the key questions and debates related to
your topic
...describe several experts' attempts to answer those questions
...describe at least two different analyses of your topic (For
example, if my topic was "Legalization of Marijuana in Philadelphia",
one analysis might be that it would be a good thing for the city. Another
analysis might be that it will be bad for the city.)
...discuss the proposed theoretical underpinnings of your topic.
"Theoretical underpinning" means the big-picture ideas that inform or
attempt to explain your topic. For example, if my research question is
"What causes people to be violent?" one possible theoretical
underpinning might be "Some people have a propensity for violence and others
don't". A different theoretical underpinning would be, "People are
pushed to be violent by extreme circumstances. Given the right (or wrong)
circumstances, anyone will eventually turn to violence." These are
large-scale (and competing) claims about human nature. What are the large-scale
(and competing) claims related to your topic?
...discuss to what degree the analyses the experts put forward
agree or disagree with the facts on the matter. In doing this, you should refer
back to your own Factual Background section.
Your Expert Analysis Section should not...
...include your own opinions or responses to the experts'
analysis. That will come later in your Response To Experts section.
This section should be at least three pages long.
You must include and properly cite at least three unique sources
in this section. You should have about two to three citations per page.
