I disagree, mostly on the basis of how many people I know write like shit, and analyze/synthesize arguments like toddlers.
To put it another way, it’s not about the publication. Or even the material. It’s about improving and setting standards for how you communicate and interpret the world.
- raincom 8y agoIn that case, these students should be sent to different classes like Writing 101 or Analyze Arguments 101, or Evaluate hypotheses 101.
- munchbunny 8y agoMany of those classes do exactly those things. The scholarly criticism exercise uses the subject matter to create "play" exercises to teach students to organize thoughts, construct and analyze arguments, etc. College math classes often do the same thing. For most people, the math is just a medium for the intellectual "play" that teaches critical thinking skills. You probably won't need literary criticism in your day to day life, but then again you probably don't need much of the math either.
