Welcome to Module Three!

This final module, you will be working diligently on your final research essay project.

Remember that in order for your argument to be sound, then, you must avoid logical fallacies that are all too common in our culture, which we learned about in the previous module. Recognizing logical fallacies can help you in your own life. They are employed by salesmen, politicians and others quite commonly in an attempt to gain your sympathy. If you can recognize them, you are protecting yourself and will be able to show others how to protect themselves from being taken in on false premises. So, take this seriously because it has quite a lot of real world applications.

For this final paper, you will be asked to argue a topic and make sure to avoid logical fallacies.

You will need to continue reading Part III “Researching” in your St. Martin’s Handbook, especially Chapter 13 "Integrating Sources," as well as Chapter 28 “Language that Builds Common Ground.” Remember that you are also responsible for the info in Chapter 33 "APA Style."

Make sure you read the prompt, participate in all the discussions, and polish that APA-style paper. There are no quizzes this final module! Yay!

Good luck, and happy researching! :)
