Argumentative Papers
An argumentative paper takes a position on a debatable question. Here, you review the various arguments surrounding that question and present material arguing for a particular answer. A good argument paper not only fairly and clearly presents the views of those with whom you disagree, but also points out where and how you believe those arguments are flawed. In this paper, you need to show why your argument presents a stronger response to the question than the responses of others who might disagree with your position.
