Description
Teenagers love to argue. Effective argumentation is an intellectual process using evidence to support a claim. Put these two facts together in the right way, and you have a recipe for excellent evidence-based writing!
Argumentation in Writing for Career Readiness with Katherine McKnight, Ph.D. will equip you to teach your students how to go beyond the basics of good argumentation and help you apply these skills across the disciplines.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- Basics and importance of argumentation
- How to train students in argumentative writing using the CERCA model

I had to redo so much of this one… numerous times! Reflective questions and quiz. At first, the quiz was recorded as I was trying to figure out which reflective questions I had to redo. Then my original quiz score disappeared! I spent 2 hours on this ridiculous course… but I’m only getting credit for 1 because the weak technology in the background is as bad as some of these outdated courses. I will say, on a positive note, the content in this one wasn’t as useless as the first two courses I’ve done.
