Updated Critical Review: In this assignment you must do accomplish two things: 

1. Address feedback given to you by me after your graded first draft. 
2. Include another scholarly author to critique the scholarly source you reviewed. The purpose of this is for you to demonstrate that you can integrate a previous class reading into your current analysis in the essay. How does this new source support your critique? How does this new source challenge the argument made in the article you reviewed? 

Teachers comments

Dear Kayla,   God job overall! I liked that you explained the author’s puzzle and the broad context of resource politics from the outset. Similarly, it was nice that you discussed each case study separately.   On another note, try to expand the essay and be more specific when you give examples for each case.   Nevertheless, do not be too reliant on long quotes for each case, instead paraphrase the long quote and explain in afterwards. There were many errors in spelling and writing. I would suggest that you proofread your paper. Also, try to explain what other political scientists would say about Timmerman’s (2012) article.  Lastly, one of the biggest portions of this assignment was to develop at least two critiques of the article you were reading. For your rewrite, please do not forget to do this very important part.  Do not hesitate to reach out, if you have any questions.
