couple of questions

by 2008 » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:46 am
1- when giving examples, can i come up with fake things? (ie. surveys, newspaper articles, business cases?) sometimes is easier to think about fake examples than real one that address the topic


2- is it better to find one flaw in the argument and make 3 examples OR to find 3 flaws and make 1 examples each one?

Generally, it's okay to be a little "creative" when thinking of examples. Of course, it's better to use a famous example that your grader will have heard of, but if you can't do that, a "creative" example is better than none at all.

Next, I'd recommend looking for three different points to discuss. Sometimes graders might be looking to see that you hit specific points, so the more you bring up, the more likely you'll write what they're looking for. Plus, it's usually easier to write one paragraph about three different topics than three paragraphs about one topic.... if that makes sense!
