Critical reading involves analyzing written material by questioning it and thinking deeply about it. It begins with curiosity to learn about any topic. When analyzing text, ask questions without needing conclusions, but to explore the topic more deeply. Questions to consider include why the author chose to tell the story or make an argument. There may not be right answers, just the author's intentions and your own interpretations. Curiosity and critical reading go hand in hand, as it's hard to analyze without interest in the topic.

Critical reading involves the active examination of a text by analyzing language choices, connecting to prior knowledge and experiences, evaluating evidence, and questioning both the text and one's own interpretations. When reading critically, readers aim to understand an author's argument and main ideas, organize information, make judgments and opinions, and gain a deeper understanding of what was read. Some benefits of critical reading are discovering an author's perspective, organizing topics, aiding comprehension of difficult materials, and developing opinions based on evidence.Close Reading

A Critical ReadingChalatip Intaramarut

Critical reading involves analyzing a text to understand not just what is explicitly stated but also how the author conveys their message and any potential biases. There are three types of analysis: restatement is simply restating what a text says, description is stating what a text does, and inference uses clues to deduce what a text implies beyond just the words. Making inferences requires considering what details and implications can reasonably be extrapolated from the information provided, rather than just memorizing the surface level statements. Critical readers must learn to analyze texts to understand both what is being said and meant.Purpose, Audience, Form and Tone
Purpose, Audience, Form and ToneSuzie Allen
油
The document provides guidance on how to identify the purpose, form, and audience of a text. It discusses looking at word-level features like vocabulary, sentence-level features like tense and structure, and text-level features like layout and presentational devices to determine purpose. Form can be identified by text-level features and certain word-level features. Audience is identified through word choice and complexity, sentence structures, and presentational features designed for a particular reader group. The document also discusses how to identify a text's register and the difference between denotation and connotation of words.Audience and purpose
Audience and purposeMandy Davis

The document provides guidance on choosing an appropriate writing style based on the purpose, audience, and subject matter. It discusses considering the purpose (such as informing or persuading), audience (whether you know them personally or not), and subject matter (whether it is factual or subjective). Based on these factors, it recommends choosing from several forms (such as reports, discussions, or instructions) and styles (formal, informal, personal, or impersonal). The goal is to use a style that clearly and explicitly conveys the intended message to the intended readers.Review Writing Presentation

A discursive essay discusses an issue by presenting multiple perspectives on a topic. There are three main types: for and against essays which discuss the pros and cons of an issue; opinion essays which present the writer's view and an opposing view; and problem solution essays which analyze a problem and propose solutions. A good discursive essay consists of an introduction stating the topic, body paragraphs supporting different perspectives with examples, and a conclusion summarizing the discussion and potentially restating the writer's position. It is important that a discursive essay remains objective by presenting all sides of an issue fairly before drawing a conclusion.Critical reading

The SQ3R reading method is a 5-step system to improve reading comprehension. It involves (1) surveying the text, including headings and visual elements, (2) generating questions about the main points, (3) carefully reading for meaning while taking notes, (4) reciting the main ideas from memory, and (5) periodically reviewing what was learned. Critical reading involves questioning assumptions, recognizing bias, analyzing arguments, and not accepting everything at face value. The reader should consider the source and intent in order to thoughtfully evaluate what is being said.7 critical reading strategies

This document discusses how to evaluate arguments. To evaluate an argument, you first analyze it by identifying the claim, or conclusion, the author is trying to persuade the reader of. You then identify the evidence or reasons the author provides to support the claim. Finally, you critically analyze the strength of the evidence and how well it actually supports the claim. A strong, valid argument will have evidence that is truthful and clearly supports its claim.Critical reading

Here are the inferences I drew from the passage:
1. Geoffrey is going to a business meeting or appointment. The passage mentions he is going to his "appointment" and is bringing extra pens and pencils. This implies it is a professional setting.
2. At his appointment there will likely be a speaker or presentation. Geoffrey bringing extra writing tools implies he expects to take notes on whatever is discussed.
3. The appointment does not seem to be for a medical reason or to fill out forms, as those scenarios are not mentioned or implied.
4. Therefore, the most logical inference is that Geoffrey needs the extra pens and pencils to take notes on the speaker, as stated in answer choice b.Purpose And Audience Powerpoint

Summarizing involves reducing a large text selection into a shorter piece by focusing on the main idea and key supporting details in your own words. It should be significantly shorter than the original text. To summarize, students should pull out the main idea, focus on important details, and write just enough to convey what was read using key words or phrases. Summarizing helps with making connections, learning new materials, and ensuring comprehension.Meeting 1- Intro to Critical Reading.pptx

This module discusses validity, logic, contradictions, consistency, and author's assumptions when reading texts. It defines argument as attempting to persuade the reader of a conclusion using reasons. As a reader, you must identify the author's argument and decide if they substantiated it. Logic uses valid reasoning - readers must analyze if the author's argument has a logical sequence. Contradiction is when facts don't agree, while consistency is when facts align. Readers should identify any inconsistencies. Author's assumptions are unstated premises - readers must be aware of what authors assume they already know.

Writing is an important skill that is used in many professions. There are specific techniques that make writing more effective. To be a good writer, you must read widely to improve your knowledge on various topics. When writing, you should choose a topic, research it thoroughly, and create an outline or draft. Asking questions about the topic helps provide clarity and anticipate questions readers may have. The answers to these questions form the thesis which should be strong and clear. Supporting details and evidence are also important to make arguments persuasive. Writers must connect their ideas to the reader's understanding. Reviewing and editing the writing is important to refine it. Following these steps can help someone become a good writer.Module 4 NOVINS

Critical reading involves analyzing a text beyond just understanding it at a surface level. It requires asking questions about the strengths and weaknesses of arguments presented in the text. Some key aspects of critical reading include determining an author's purpose and viewpoint, separating facts from opinions, evaluating logic and evidence, and deciding whether to accept or reject the information. To be a critical reader, one should reflect carefully on what a text says, describes, and means by asking questions about the author's qualifications, potential biases, and missing information. Taking notes, marking up the text, and reading slowly and openly are important practices for developing critical reading abilities.Being-Critical.pptx

In the Pharmacy profession there are many dangerous diseases from which the most dangerous is cancer. Here we study about the cancer as well as its treatment that is supportive to the students of semester VI of Bachelor of Pharmacy. Cancer is a disease of cells of characterized by Progressive, Persistent, Perverted (abnormal), Purposeless and uncontrolled Proliferation of tissues. There are many types of cancer that are harmful to the human body which are responsible to cause the disease condition. The position 7 of guanine residues in DNA is especially susceptible. Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug converted to the active metabolite aldophosphamide in the liver. Procarbazine is a weak MAO inhibitor; produces sedation and other CNS effects, and can interact with foods and drugs. Methotrexate is one of the most commonly used anticancer drugs. Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist. 6-MP and 6-TG are activated to their ribonucleotides, which inhibit purine ring biosynthesis and nucleotide inter conversion. Pyrimidine analogue used in antineoplastic, antifungal and anti psoriatic agents.
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine analog. It is a complex diterpin taxane obtained from bark of the Western yew tree. Actinomycin D is obtained from the fungus of Streptomyces species. Gefitinib and Erlotinib inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. Sunitinib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases like platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) Rituximab target antigen on the B cells causing lysis of these cells.
Prednisolone is 4 times more potent than hydrocortisone, also more selective glucocorticoid, but fluid retention does occur with high doses. Estradiol is a major regulator of growth for the subset of breast cancers that express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1).
Finasteride and dutasteride inhibit conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in prostate (and other tissues), have palliative effect in advanced carcinoma prostate; occasionally used. Chemotherapy in most cancers (except curable cancers) is generally palliative and suppressive. Chemotherapy is just one of the modes in the treatment of cancer. Other modes like radiotherapy and surgery are also employed to ensure 'total cell kill'.Gold Spot Dairy Store Jordan Minnesota 55352

This presentation explores the role of generative AI (GenAI) in enhancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), using Feltens five principles of good practice as a guiding framework. As educators within higher education institutions increasingly integrate GenAI into teaching and research, it is vital to consider how these tools can support scholarly inquiry into student learning, while remaining contextually grounded, methodologically rigorous, collaborative, and appropriately public.
Through practical examples and case-based scenarios, the session demonstrates how generative GenAI can assist in analysing critical reflection of current practice, enhancing teaching approaches and learning materials, supporting SoTL research design, fostering student partnerships, and amplifying the reach of scholarly outputs. Attendees will gain insights into ethical considerations, opportunities, and limitations of GenAI in SoTL, as well as ideas for integrating GenAI tools into their own scholarly teaching practices. The session invites critical reflection and dialogue about the responsible use of GenAI to enhance teaching, learning, and scholarly impact.

Antiviral agents are crucial in combating viral infections, causing a variety of diseases from mild to life-threatening. Developed through medicinal chemistry, these drugs target viral structures and processes while minimizing harm to host cells. Viruses are classified into DNA and RNA viruses, with each replicating through distinct mechanisms. Treatments for herpesviruses involve nucleoside analogs like acyclovir and valacyclovir, which inhibit the viral DNA polymerase. Influenza is managed with neuraminidase inhibitors like oseltamivir and zanamivir, which prevent the release of new viral particles. HIV is treated with a combination of antiretroviral drugs targeting various stages of the viral life cycle. Hepatitis B and C are treated with different strategies, with nucleoside analogs like lamivudine inhibiting viral replication and direct-acting antivirals targeting the viral RNA polymerase and other key proteins.
Antiviral agents are designed based on their mechanisms of action, with several categories including nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, protease inhibitors, neuraminidase inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and integrase inhibitors. The design of these agents often relies on understanding the structure-activity relationship (SAR), which involves modifying the chemical structure of compounds to enhance efficacy, selectivity, and bioavailability while reducing side effects. Despite their success, challenges such as drug resistance, viral mutation, and the need for long-term therapy remain.

- 2. To read critically menas to read analytically, which means to question and to think about the written material in front of you. Some Points to Consider
- 3. Critical Reading begins with one simple thing: Curiosity. Curiosity means that you have a desire to learn about anything and everything.
- 4. Analyzing a book involves the ability to ask questions .Analysis does not have to lead to conclusions, it need only lead you toward a deeper examination. When it does lead to answers, however, it makes for a more satisfying reading experience.
- 5. When looking for answers from any text, start by asking why? Why did the autor need to tell this story? Why did the author need to reveal this particular argument?
- 6. Keep in mind that there are not right answers when you read There are only the authors intentions and your interpretetions.
- 7. Curiosity and critical reading go hand in hand. Its very difficult to analyze a text if youre not even a little bit interested in anything about it.
- 8. Example texts have been taken from these series of books.
- 10. This is the authors point of view. You have to ask yourself: Why does the author have this point of view? Do you agree? Whats your opinion?
- 12. Where is it taken from? Why is the author giving this information?
- 17. The questions for this reading do not really make students think?
- 18. Why? How? When? Why do they throw do the tomatoes? How do they throw them? The first text doesnt say it.
- 27. Why? How?
- 35. What is the hardest task in the world? To think. - Ralph Waldon Emerson
