The Week
The Week 5 Final Argument Paper serves as a culmination of students’ ability to articulate a clear,
focused, and well-supported argument on a chosen topic. This assignment emphasizes the importance of organizing research and ideas within the framework of APA guidelines, fostering academic writing proficiency, and demonstrating critical thinking skills through persuasive argumentation supported by credible sources.
In developing the final paper, students are expected to incorporate feedback received from previous drafts, specifically from the Week 3 rough draft and the Week 4 revised draft. This iterative process helps ensure the paper is both substantively sound and adherent to APA formatting standards. The guidance emphasizes that the research should be integrated thoughtfully, with a minimal number of quotations and paraphrases—no more than five instances—each properly cited in APA style, enhancing the originality and coherence of the argument.
The structure of the paper should include a title page formatted according to APA. The introductory paragraph must clearly state the thesis, capturing the reader’s attention and defining the scope of the argument. Body sections should utilize level 1 headings for each major point, and each paragraph under these headings should begin with a topic sentence that sets the stage for the discussion.
Concluding with a strong paragraph, the paper should summarize key points and reinforce the thesis. The references must include at least three peer-reviewed sources, properly cited according to APA standards, demonstrating scholarly backing for the argument. The final step involves uploading the paper to WritePoint® and the Plagiarism Checker, reviewing automated feedback, and making necessary revisions to improve clarity, coherence, and academic rigor.
