EVALUATING
ARGUMENTS
You will need to evaluate
arguments from others when constructing academic writing. This evaluation must be logical
and persuasive.
Sometimes, the evaluation of the
writer’s argument is so that you can display your understanding
of what to look for in a good argument and that you are able to locate poor
argument strategies as well.
Sometimes, you will evaluate an argument within a source that you are considering
using as support aspects of your thesis.
Sometimes, you will evaluate an argument within a source that you are considering
using to refute an opposing viewpoint on an issue.
Whether you are evaluating a
verbal or written argument, the
evaluation process is the same. You will look for logical support, reliable
sources to defend the argument, and
possible manipulation through fallacies or inductive reasoning. Keep in mind that your audience will be doing
the same when reading your argument essays.
