Discussion Questions
Answer 1
As explained in chapter 3 and how you have explained in your discussion it is
essential for an individual to engage in establishing effective notes before writing a research
paper. In addition to your post, any research paper that an individual write it must have a
thesis statement as this helps an individual to structure appropriate discussion points in line
with the thesis statement. A better thesis statement as you have stated in the discussion post is
significant as an individual would be able to write an effective research paper based on the
notes that one has retrieved and explain in details the thesis statement structured. To write an
effective thesis statement, one needs first to establish what the research paper would cover.
Answer 2
I agree with you that before an individual engages in writing a research paper one
needs to develop a well-written outline and this is because it will help an individual in
structuring the discussion pertaining to the points developed. In addition to your points, when
an individual creates a rough outline, it enables the individual to note down all the essential
points that need to be discussed in the research paper. I will also like you to note that an
efficient outline needs to have an introduction part first then the points that would be
discussed in the research paper supporting the thesis statement that has been developed. I am
also in agreement that through an individual using organizational patterns it will help them to
align the notes or points developed in the outline effectively in a research paper.

construct a quality research paper. After going through the chapter, it is essential for an
individual to always utilize the University library as this will provide a student with quality
academic sources that an individual can use to write a research paper. The sources derived
from websites and non-academic are not efficient when writing a research paper since they
don’t possess adequate information which will help in writing a quality research paper.
Answer 4
In an argumentative essay, it is essential for an individual to develop a thesis
statement that is debatable. The reason for this is because when writing an argument essay,
one needs to provide adequate points in supporting the thesis and developing points that are
against the thesis statement developed. An individual cannot be able to establish points in
supporting a thesis and points that are against a thesis statement if the thesis statement is not
debatable. Having a debatable thesis statement also enables a reader to know what the
argument is all about and the importance of the argumentative essay. Having a debatable
thesis statement in an argument essay also allows an individual to derive a conclusion and to
come up with a final claim or supporting one side of the argument essay.
Answer 5
It is important when an individual is writing a formal argument to use appropriate
academic sources since they have quality information that will help an individual to construct
a formal argument. It is crucial for a student when writing a formal argument to avoid using
non-academic sources since they are usually not supported by appropriate and learned
academic individuals. Non-academic articles are not relevant when writing a formal argument
since they contain informal languages, casual and slang content which cannot be integrated
into a formal argument. Non-academic sources also are not peer-reviewed; therefore, the
content that they have might not be efficient to use in a formal argument. When using non-
