Riassunto

How to Argue aims to address student fears. Being asked to present an argument is a challenge and is probably the most difficult thing most students will be asked to do at university. However, by applying the techniques described in this book, students should find the challenge easier. Packed with exercises, examples and case studies, the chapters take students through the techniques of forming an academic argument, from contradictions and tensions, to empirical adequacy, structure and presentation.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'I think that the remit of this proposal - to provide students with guidelines for the development of skills of academic argumentation - is a worthwhile one. That students are unable to put together an argument is a common lament amongst teaching staff in higher education establishments, and this book could make a significant contribution to correcting such a failing...the book's layout and remit is certainly basic, clear and exhaustive.' - Simon Naylor

'I think this book will sell as it fulfills a need in tertiary education which is not currently being met...I think you'd be onto a winner, and a winner which hopefully won't date.' - Sarah Holloway

'Clearly a book such as this would be appropriate for such courses. Essentially then a text geared to introductory undergraduate courses and /or Access to Higher Education type courses.' - Ian Marsh
