The ability to evaluate other peoples’ academic argument and to build your own academic arguments in your work is essential to success in your studies. This session will consider what is meant by academic argument; and how to critique other peoples’ positions in your reading and how to construct a sound academic argument in your writing/speaking. An engagement with academic argument is crucial to avoiding feedback such as ‘too descriptive, more analysis is needed’ or ‘some knowledge and understanding, but where is the analysis/argument’.
