Outcome Three Argument Methods

Outcome Three is being able to create arguments that you could use in an academic setting. This means you must back up your statements with concrete evidence. If one was writing an argumentative piece, this would mean using primary sources, secondary sources, and research done by experts of the field your argument covers. Outcome Three is using substantial evidence to convince one’s audience to agree with their argument. This outcome is applicable in every context, whether having a conversation or presenting because one should always have evidence to back up a claim. Adding evidence to support a claim can only strengthen a claim.
