Research Report Rhetorical Analysis

This assignment for a science writing course required us to choose an article and perform a rhetorical analysis. I examined the piece from various angles, and determined the exigence and intended audience. Assessing this article allowed me to practice my analytical skills and engage with a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with prior to this course. For this assignment I had to not only understand the content, but be able to interpret and explain various aspects of the piece.
