Critical analysis

Critical writing involves considering evidence to make reasoned conclusions. Critical writing requires the author to consider more than one perspective and thus it can be said that: effective critical writing uses more than one source in developing an argument.

In essence, critical writing is writing which evaluates and analyses more than one source in order to develop an argument. To be effective, the final text must be well referenced, logically set out and written both convincingly and in an academic tone.

In a similar way, institutions and faculty are increasingly having to concern themselves with rating and league tables, publishing in prestigious journals and securing R&D (Research and Development) funds for their department and/or college [2]. An unintended consequence of this marketisation process is that increasingly institutions are seeking to become research-based as opposed to teaching-centred. In such an environment, student enrolment is in danger of being seen primarily in the context of revenue as opposed to being based solely in academic merit. As was set out and subsequently expanded upon by Tomar (2010, 2012), some believe that both students and
