Dear students,

As we move into the final stretch of our course, please read this announcement carefully. 

Final Goal: The Argument Paper (AP)

The major focus for the remainder of the course is the  revision and expansion of your Argument Paper. This assignment is not just a re-submission— in other words,  do NOT resubmit your original paper. Use this opportunity to narrow your focus, deepen your research, and craft a more polished argument. Review the full assignment description,  my microlectures, and the resource slides for guidance.
