Review the writing techniques on the Argumentative Writing (Links to an external site.) page and, using a minimum of one scholarly source from the library, write a two to three paragraph (150 to 200 words) persuasive statement explaining why your university is a good place to earn an education. Consider your audience as other adult learners and prospective adult learners. You can choose to craft a statement useful to all prospective students, focus on an academic discipline, or another important aspect of your college experience. Make sure your introductory comments clearly identify your target audience.
What is argumentative writing?
In argumentative writing, you are typically asked to take a position on an issue or topic and explain and support your position with research from reliable and credible sources.
What are the characteristics of an argumentative paper?
The argument you are making should be clearly stated within your thesis statement.
You should have several reasons or points of discussion that help you to support your argument. You will explain and support these reasons and points of discussion within the body paragraphs of your paper.
As with all academic writing, you’ll need to cite any information that you used from a source within your paper.
