76-101 RESPONDING TO A CONTRIBUTION PAPER Respond to your peer’s contribution draft, relying on the expertise you have gained this semester to address the following issues: 1) What main point is the author of the contribution paper trying to make? Paraphrase it. According to the definition of “newness” found in KGN chapter 13, how new is this main point? Explain. 2) The paradigm case should appear to be a significant instance of the problem/issue being addressed and also one that is relevant to the main point being made.

Explain. 3) Comment on the author’s use of the articles we have read. Has the author used all the articles that would seem relevant to the paradigm case and the issue/problem being addressed? If not, explain and suggest sources he or she might use. 4) How well has the author anticipated and addressed reasonable criticisms or objections he or she might encounter when making their argument? Explain. Are there any reasonable criticism or objections the author has failed to address? List and explain.
