An argumentative essay requires you to write a rational, well-evidenced, solid defense of your claim. You will be required to write no more than four to six (4-6) typed and double-spaced pages on your selected topic. Your topic must come from any of the following topics or be a topic which I have approved. In some case you may have to narrow the topics to complete the assignment. Chapter 13 of Critical Thinking: A Student’s Introduction (our text) discusses in detail the requirements of writing an argumentative essay and we will say more about this in class. However, the following is a general outline of the steps you should consider when writing an argument. A sample argumentative essay is provided in Critical Thinking beginning on page 414.
Should campuses institute speech codes? If so, what language should be prohibited?
You will be evaluated on:
Spelling and Grammar – You will be deducted points for spelling and grammar
errors.
Attributing Sources – students must properly cite sources. We will discuss this issue
further in class.
Quality of Sources – the stronger and more credible your sources, the higher your
grade for this part of the assignment. Hint: Wikipedia is not a strong source.
Quality of Final Product – better papers (e.g. well written, well researched, well
argued) receive better scores.
Strength of Analysis/Argument – your argument should be logical, use reliable
(reasonable) evidence that is relevant and sufficient to establish the conclusion. You
need to do research to meet this objective.
