Critique writing

Here you will find a link to the description of the critiques, i.e. the writing assignments in Eco 313.  You can also find a link to the appropriate format and citation styles.  Critiques, like any other written assignments must cite when appropriate and in an appropriate style.  The document at this link tells you how to do that.

However, you are required to submit them in any case.
