Political Science Question

Overview

The essay is to be approximately (5-8 pages or 1250-2000 words), and you must also include a title page and a works cited page (not a bibliography). For citations, you use Chicago Manual of Style (footnotes). It is important to note that you are being asked to write an argumentative essay not a descriptive essay. In other words, you will try to prove something. Think of your essay as a law case and the reader as the jury. Your argument is your thesis and it is crucial to your success. A poor argument will often translate into a poor paper. Be careful, however, that you continue to write in the third person and use formal language. You are writing an academic argumentative paper not an opinion piece for a newspaper. A final note, you should select a topic that interests you. It is a lot more interesting to read, research and write about something you like rather than something that puts you to sleep!
