28 views4 pages

Document Summary

Take up a position on a controversial issue. Defend it with one or more arguments. A position paper is not: an opinion piece. You are arguing for a position: a survey of the positions on a topic. Your audience is an intelligent, well-informed reader who does not already agree with your position. Approximately 1200 words, or four typed, double-spaced pages. Use a readable font (times new roman 12pt is standard). Supply a cover page with the following information: your name and student number, the topic you are writing on, the word count, your email address. Always save a copy of your essay. Submit two copies: a hard copy to me, in class, an electronic copy to the website www. turnitin. com. Do not use exaggeration or emotional language. Never make claims that are not either justified with evidence or accepted as common knowledge. Use of personal pronouns (e. g. "i," "me") is perfectly acceptable, but avoid subjective language ("i feel," "in my opinion").
