This reading goes into depth talking about arguments in your paper. It talks about the two types of arguments: truth seeking and persuasion. Truth seeking is defined as, “a diligent, open-minded, and responsible search for the best course of action or solution to a problem, taking into account all the available information and alternative points of view.” Persuasion is defined as, “The art of making a claim on an issue and justifying it convincingly so that the audience’s initial response to your position is overcome and they are moved toward your position.” It also mentions how important it is to find an arguable issue, and that it will basically make or break your paper whether you can accomplish that or not. If you have a weak argument, your paper will be weak. There are a few different areas of your research that you need to try to incorporate, all with equal importance. STAR criteria is a skill you can use to evaluate the evidence in your paper and see if it really works. It stands for sufficiency, typicality, accuracy, and relevance. When I am writing my paper I will use this whenever I am implementing research or evidence into my paper to make sure it works.
