Evaluation of an argument

Your evaluation of the argument should be focused on establishing how well this argument is constructed and presented. you don’t have to disagree or agree with every point or every aspect of the article. The goal here is for us to closely understand and evaluate what makes a strong argument and what makes a weak argument. Things to consider in your evaluation of this argument include:
Style, language, and/or tone: Is the language too formal for its audience (to the point where they may not understand what’s being argued)? Is it too informal, meaning that the audience doesn’t take the author seriously? Is its tone condescending, flippant, or otherwise off-putting for the reader, or is it inviting and engaging?
Support and Evidence: Does the author work to not only clearly express his/her argument, but support it sufficiently? Does the author provide sources/information that are credible and accurate? Is he/she representing those sources in a fair, ethical way?
Strength of Overall Argument: Does the author address key considerations or issues about this topic in his/her argument or no? Do they address or anticipate the counter-argument to their own?
Organization & Clarity: Does the author present his/her ideas clearly for the reader, making it easy to see not only the overall thesis but the supporting details and points as well? Are points arranged in a way that builds off one another logically, or are they scattered and disorganized?
Fallacies: Does the author commit any rhetorical fallacies in the foundations of their idea or support of the argument?
Audience: Does this article work to engage the reader in a meaningful way (including things like effective or ineffective rhetorical appeals)? Does it appeal to their concerns clearly? Who is this possible intended audience?
Bias: Does the writer have a clear bias, either politically, religiously, or otherwise that might affect their ability to effectively consider this topic? Do they engage in stereotypical ideas, language, or examples?
Your evaluation (whether it's a strong or weak argument) should come from the evaluation and analysis of the argument itself, not your opinion on the issue. An argument you agree with can be sloppy and poorly done; an argument you disagree with can be well-constructed. Don't let your own biases impact the quality of your analysis. Focus on both flaws in the argument as well as what the author does well, valid points they make, or how they offer up an approach you hadn’t previously considered.
Your evaluation is NOT a summary of the argument itself - instead, be critical, examine every word, phrase, and piece of evidence and work towards showing YOUR reader whether this argument is strong or weak. Your opinion on the issue overall is also not front and center here.
