Abstract:

While there are a number of different kinds of essay styles, the most common essay in the humanities and social sciences is the argumentative or persuasive essay. The purpose of this essay is not simply to provide information, analysis, and interpretation, but to use these to argue for a distinct position or even an interpretation of a text or research. In this workshop, we will discuss strategies for writing an argumentative essay. Topics will include developing a thesis, organizing your paper logically, using connective words, and using proper citation methods.
