Meta-analysis or Documentary Film Evidence Mapping  (100 points)

 

Part 1: You may choose a published meta-analysis, white paper, or systematice review  OR you may prefer to choose a feature-length (50 minutes at least) documentary on your research topic. Read the essay you chose carefully or view the film and map the evidence presented in the film by making  notes to yourself about the type of evidence used in the source.

 

                                     TYPES OF EVIDENCE

            Testimonial/Expert

            Quantitative/Stochastic

Qualitative

 

Part 2: Write a short 2- or 3-page review, typed and single-spaced, of the source you selected.  Explain whether you think the documentary is a persuasive, successful argument, or whether you think it fails to persuade.
