In this post I'm going to be critiquing on "Bringing Democracy to Texas State"! This article is about bringing in a new series of events at Texas State University called The Discourse in Democracy series which has was initiated by a political science professor, Dr. Kenneth Grasso. When I first read the article I was impressed by how determine the author is that students will enjoy this opportunity, even later on in the article author quotes Dr. Inbody, political science senior lecturer says: "It is an especially valuable opportunity for students of all majors and backgrounds to increase their political understanding.” but there is no evidence if the students really like this! There isn't a single interview with a student or a data chart which says for example this percentage of students are interested. I Personally think it is a great opportunity but with having so much homework and exams that have been piled up I don't think many students would be able to attend those events. Maybe if there were some more information available on students input on these series of event it would've made the article more student friendly rather than the University is doing it no matter if students like it or not.
P.S I did not mean to offend anyone or say someone is right or wrong, this post is just been made for critique assignment for my Texas Government class. Thank you!
