ENGL Final Exam: Fall 2020
ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Write argumentative essay of approximately 1000 words in MLA format in which you make and support a claim related to college students and stress. It is important that you choose a focused, debatable topic for your essay.
Your aim is to develop an opinion, supported with reasons and evidence. Include consideration of a counterargument. For your evidence, please use the following one source AND draw on personal experience for examples. Note: No additional research is permitted for this exam – use the one source below but do not consult any additional materials.
Source:
Lee & Kim’s “Effect of university students’ sedentary behavior on stress, anxiety, and depression” (Please see PDF)
Please note: This essay is not simply a summary of the article. It is expected that you will develop your own opinion, using thoughts, ideas, and examples of your own. The article is meant to support your essay, not to provide all of the ideas for it.
Here are some additional guidelines to help you:
Your essay should feature consideration of a counterargument (with rebuttal) to support your claim.
Although not part of your grade, it is suggested that you draft a quick outline to help guide you. Use the writing process.
Remember to proofread your essay. This is academic writing so we have high expectations of your spelling, grammar, sentence structure, professionalism, etc.
