Guide to Analytical Reference Cards
Each analytical reference card must not be more than 1 page. The list of texts subject to analytical reference cards will be distributed during the first weeks. The purpose of the analytical reference card is to provide the basic structure of a text as well as an analytical summary. The student must not use or quote external sources, he must simply provide an analytical outline of the text, based only on the text itself. To do so, the student must identify:

-Five Concepts: These are words or expressions used to organize ideas and knowledge. For example, the main ones for Aristotle’s Politics: State, Household Management, Art of Acquisition, Coined Money, Nature.

-The Research Question: It is the main problem or question tackled by the text. Normally, the research question should be written as a question form. In Aristotle’s Politics (Book 1), one could identify the research question as: Under what conditions is the art of acquisition a natural part of household management and of the State, and how is money corrupting this state of affairs?

-The Central Proposition: It is the main idea defended by the author to answer the research question. The central proposition should normally be formulated in one sentence. In Aristotle’s Politics, the central proposition could be identified as: “The art of acquisition is a natural part of household management and of the State as long as it remains a means towards the ends of the State, but, because coined money can be accumulated without limits, unlimited acquisition confuses between the means and the end and must be considered adverse to the purpose of the State.

-Main Arguments: Identify the main arguments used by the author to support the Central Proposition. The student should follow the same structure the author used to support his Central Proposition. Sometimes, each chapter of a book (or section of a text) can be synthesized as an argument to support the central proposition, and the identification of arguments is thus the enumeration of the central idea of each chapters. Sadly, it is not always as clear-cut. The number of main arguments can vary (from 3 to 8) from one text to the other.
