Nearly all scholarly writing makes an argument. Thats because its purpose is to create and share new knowledge so it can be debated in order to confirm, dis-confirm, or improve it. That arguing takes place mostly in journals and scholarly books and at conferences. Its called the scholarly conversation, and its that conversation that moves forward what we humans know.
Your scholarly writing for classes should do the samemake an argumentjust like your professors journal article, scholarly book, and conference presentation writing does. (You may not have realized that the writing youre required to do mirrors what scholars all over the university, country, and world must do to create new knowledge and debate it. Of course, you may be a beginner at constructing arguments in writing, while most professors have been at it for some time. And your audience (for now) also may be more limited than your professors. But the process is much the same. As you
complete your research assignments, you, too, are entering the scholarly conversation.
Making an argument means trying to convince others that you are correct as you describe a thing, situation, relationship, or phenomenon and/or persuade them to take a particular action. Important not just in college, that skill will be necessary for nearly every professional job you hold after college. So learning how to make an argument is good job preparation, even if you do not choose a scholarly career.
