Successful research-based writing requires a sustained academic argument that includes a variety of credible, often scholarly sources. Rhetorical appeals, analysis of examples and evidence, informative terms and details about context, alternate perspectives, and even personal anecdotes all work together to develop a persuasive text with well-supported thesis or claim. Some instructors assign multi-genre, digital, or visual projects that include various components; this required the author to consider different forms, mediums, and situations to effectively connect with and persuade a distinct audience. Some works in this section from our introductory course do not require extensive research and focus on sound argumentation.
