Write your arguments in standard form.
What are the premises of your argument? There should be at least one normative statement and at least one descriptive statement, but ideally there will be 5-7 premises.
If any of your premises make factual statements that are not common knowledge and widely accepted, include a source supporting your reference. This can be an APA citation or just a link to a reputable website or publication. Here is a helpful resource for APA references.
Place an asterisk (*) by the normative premise(s) that support the conclusion.
There may be a subargument within your argument, a conclusion reached by premises that then becomes a conclusion that supports your premise. If there is a subargument, underline the subconclusion.
The conclusion should be the final statement in your argument and begin with the word “therefore.” These should correspond to the conclusions from Part 1.
