An
evaluation essay is very similar to a few other essay types. In fact, in many cases, an evaluation essay is so close in style and content that they are indistinguishable from an
argumentative or
analytical essay. Or
descriptive essay.
However, an evaluation essay is different in the sense that the writer is not simply presenting information or relaying the information of other articles or research, but rather the writer is presenting
their own logical thought process about a topic or idea. The writer often begins the process of writing with no specific opinion in mind and then develops an opinion through the course of writing. The author will examine, in a logical manner, as many aspects as are necessary and then come to their own opinions on the topic.
