Be sure to include the following elements in order to get full credit:
- Clearly identify which dilemma you are referring to and summarize the main points found in the textbook about the issue, citing the book as appropriate. (Note that your academic coach should NOT have to guess about whether you read the textbook!)
- Make your case, using a well-reasoned argument, to convince your peers that:
- This issue actually exists: Provide a link to an example of a case where this dilemma is at play
- That it matters: Describe a specific effect that results from not being aware of this dilemma and explain why it matters (i.e. don't just say "its bad when this thing happens" and assume that your peers agree -- a good argument identifies a real world effect of the issue at play to convince their audience that it matters)
