Write the Critique

1. Introduction
Start by introducing the work you are critiquing. Assume your audience has not come across the work before. The readers of your critique do not know the author either. Also, state the work’s context. The introductory paragraph should end with what some instructors call ‘thesis statement.’ It is a sentence summarizing your evaluation of the work as positive, negative or mixed.

2. Summary
Give an overview of the main ideas of the work. The key points you will highlight form the basis of your critique. This is what you will ‘criticize’ in the next paragraph. Make sure that you mention all the main points.
Note: You might be tempted just to state your ideas of interest in the critique, which is not professional. Your critique should be fair and honest.

3. Critique
This is the body of your work. It should, therefore, be a comprehensive assessment of the item you are critiquing. Your critique should not be inclined to the negative opinions only. It should address both the achievements and failures of the creator. Some of the guiding questions and statements to consider in your evaluation are as follows;
Were the objectives of the work achieved?
Are there assumptions made by the author and how do they affect the effectiveness of the work?
For a creative work, state the styles and techniques used by the author and how or whether they assist in attaining the objective of the work.
For a critique of a research paper or a media item, assess the data collection methods that were used.
Are the author’s claims well supported? Is there enough evidence for the claims?
The body of the critique depends, therefore, on the type of work being assessed. The work can be a song, a film, an article, a research paper and so on.
Your assessment should be having examples from the item you are critiquing to support your judgment. Evidence from external sources should be included too and cited accordingly.

4. Conclusion
It should be concise, indicating your overall assessment and the reasons for your judgment. You may also suggest improvement recommendations to the creator of the work. Below the concluding paragraph, add a reference list for all the citations included in the critique.
