Description

Students will create the fifth part of their research manuscript.

Objectives

Evaluate the truth and validity of an argument.

Instructions

Argue a position on a significant issue pertaining to your chosen
topic for your research manuscript. Your claim should be clearly stated
with adequate support. Consider other perspectives when making your
position and clearly show why you believe your position is more logical,
sensible, useful, or appealing than the opposition’s viewpoint.
Use print sources, electronic sources, and – if possible – an interview with an informed individual to support your claims.
On a page separate from your paper, identify the audience to whom
you are addressing your argument and explain why members will benefit
from understanding your position.
Within the paper, or in an accompanying note, explain why the issue
is important to you so that your classmates and instructor can be aware
of the nature of your expertise and any possible biases.
Make sure to apply the information found in your lectures and readings.

Assignment Submission

The use of outside resources is strongly recommended and all papers must be cited and written in APA format.
