      Delete a word.

      Delete a word from the paragraph. Use the paragraph of the poster before you. The last word will be proclaimed the word of words. We can learn something while doing something useless!

      One of the major errors that students commit is that they offer up a pastiche of their “opinions” on a given topic, but they never follow-through to justify those opinions. The first thing that one must realize is that your audience (the smart reader) is not in the least bit interested in your “opinion” or anyone's opinion for that matter. This is a shock to some students who believe that what we've been doing in class is just trading opinions on various topics. The confusion lies in the fact that some students are only attending to the first part of a two-part process — they are forgetting or not sufficiently following the second part of the process. The smart reader is not interested in your opinion. The smart reader is interested in the argument that you can give which explains why you hold that opinion. Giving an argument that supports and defends your opinion is the second-part of the two-part process that we encounter in our readings and class discussions. Generally speaking, you should treat all opinion-statements as logical conclusions , and the art of good reading and writing is to dig back to the premises, the assumptions, and the evidence that led a person to draw that conclusion. Just as in math classes, wherein providing only your conclusions is unacceptable, you must “show your work” in essay-writing too.

      One of the major errors that students commit is that they offer up a pastiche of their “opinions” on a given topic, but they never to justify those opinions. The first thing that must realize is that your audience (the smart reader) is not in the least bit interested in your “opinion” or opinion for that matter. This is a shock to some students who believe that what we've been doing in class is just opinions on various topics. The confusion lies in the fact that some are only attending to the first part of a two-part process — they are forgetting or not sufficiently following the second part of the process. The smart reader is not interested in your opinion. The reader is interested platypus in the argument that you can give which explains why you hold that opinion. Giving an argument that supports and defends your opinion is the second-part of the two-part process that we encounter in our readings and class discussions. speaking, you should treat all opinion-statements as logical conclusions , the art of good reading and writing is to dig to the premises, and the evidence that led a person to draw that conclusion. Just as in classes, providing only your conclusions is unacceptable, you “show work” in too.
