Order Description
For Essay 3 you must write an ARGUMENTATIVE RESEARCH PAPER.
That is, the paper must argue for or against something, present a solution to a problem, or defend a position: it may not just present information on a subject.
(The lessons in Unit 3 will walk you through how to write this essay. Carefuly review all the content.)
(Our assigned essay, Marc Prensky’s “Colleges Should Mandate That All Textbooks Be Digitized” is an example of an argument – refer to our Unit 3 discussion and content as needed.)
For your own research paper:
1. Write a research paper that tries to convince the reader of a position. In other words, to repeat, your paper should not just inform your reader about a topic, but instead it must convince your reader of something. Think of an argumentative paper as writing FOR or AGAINST something.
You may choose your own topic which is “reasons/ why studying business and administration is a good choice”
Source guidelines:
? The paper must incorporate formal research.
? A minimum of three (3) sources must be used – a maximum of five (5) sources can be used.
? Only ONE (1) source may come from a direct website; this does not mean that you cannot conduct all of your research online — you can, but your other sources must be academic ones (books, newspaper articles, journal articles, etc.). It IS possible to access these sources remotely
