Welcome to this guide on building arguments. Arguments are like building blocks in academic writing as they present the essential details and show the connections that readers need to understand an author's thinking. "Reasoning" refers to the approach an author takes to build the argument.
In this guide, you can expect to learn more about:
- Deductive and inductive reasoning
- Arguments are everywhere; learn more about evidence, counterarguments, audience, and critical reading
- Fallacies that can weaken arguments
- Liber.rhetoriae: A story about arguments
