Assignment Question
Subject: Choose to answer one of the following questions. -Does God exist? -Do we have supernatural souls, or are we just physical beings? -Do we have free will? -How do we acquire knowledge? How to write: This is a persuasion paper. Your grade will be based on how persuasive your paper is. This means that in grading it, I will be looking for arguments. Papers with good arguments will get a good grade. Papers without them, not so much. Be sure to be specific with regard to the topic. If you write on God’s existence, be sure to say what kind of god you are speaking of. If you think we have souls, be specific about what you think a soul is. Your target audience is someone who may not agree with you. Ask, “Would my paper be convincing to someone who doesn’t already agree?”. If the answer is “no”, then make it convincing. Anticipate potential objections, and attempt to solve them in the paper. You may use class material to support your position, but papers that ONLY go over class material will not receive good grades. Examine some new ideas. Use in text citations.
