| ASSESSMENTS | Book Review Assignment-Due 10 November: Book reviews should be between 750-1000 words (approximately 3-4 pages) in length. Book reviews are not book reports. Rather, book reviews are an opportunity for you to summarize and critically-assess the author's arguments, ideas, and evidence. A well-written book review will also answer the 'so what?' question; how is this book/this author's arguments important to the study of U.S. politics. |
