Arguments 04/27/2011

Today was another moodle session and we were to discussed about an argument.
An argument is an influential force that contradicts an opposing party in which it exhibits a level of controversy and debate. There are 5 keys of element to keep in mind when applying an argument- Background, Proposition, Qualification of Proportion, Refutation, and Support (see Chapter 15 for more details)
In addition, always consider the strength of your evidence and reasoning. Make sure that you state a proven statistical rating when establishing an argument or case. Also, remember to cite your facts to refrain from plagiarism and copyright violations. Additionally, beware of any logical fallacy, for they can cause weak ineffective points of view. All in all, arguments are a great practice in exercising the three stages of the writing process.
See you all next class!!
