Instructions and guidlines:
In 1,500-2,000 words (approx. 4-6 pages), discuss your chosen topic from your assigned paper and present your argumentative thesis in regard to that topic. Remember that you must present an argument that can be argued both “for” and “against” your stated position. A good approach would be to start with introducing your thesis with some background and context, followed next by presentation of your primary argument, then presenting a series of counterarguments that others could raise against your primary position, then “repair” any damage you did, and then end with a strong conclusion. Let me know if you have any questions about my expectations here.
Format
The final submission should have a cover page with title, your name, your course and section, and the date of submission. You are required to use at least five academically reputable sources. Anonymous sources are not academically reputable. I would recommend that you obtain your sources through the college library’s holdings. Note that many books and journals can be viewed online through the library. You will also be expected to utilize the Chicago Style of Citation to document how you used each source. Examples of this citation style for notes and bibliography entries can be found at the Purdue Online Writing Lab here. Related to this, you will be required to use footnotes (as opposed to endnotes or parenthetical citations). Finally, you should end with a bibliography page listing your sources in the proper format.
Page numbers should be located in the top right header of each page with both your last name and the page number (e.g. Seutter 1). The margins should be no larger than 1 inch in size, the font must be Times New Roman, 12-point, and the body of the paper should be double-spaced.
