What is a reaction/response paper supposed to look like Forum

[09042014]

2-3 Pages response/reaction to a paper I'm supposed to read. I assume I just talk about it somehow?

[A. Nony Mouse]

Yup. What you thought was interesting, what you agreed with/disagreed with and why. Why the argument does/doesn't convince you. That kind of crap. Often bonus points if you can connect it to the bigger issues of the course (or whatever you're writing it for).

[Richie Tenenbaum]

Just talk about how the author was wrong on a particular point. If possible, expand on what he should/could have done instead. The more discrete you make the point you disagree with, the easier it is (and you can provide more content for why author is wrong).

ETA: Try to make sure the part you concentrate on is important (or even necessary) to the author's overall argument.
