Evaluate how academic arguments use evidence<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"AWhen you think of evidence, you might think of detectives dusting a crime scene for fingerprints.\u00a0 They carefully go through a crime scene, looking for the most important details and searching for anything that might be relevant to solving the crime.\u00a0 Once they\u2019ve searched the area, they collect that evidence and bring it together to use as support for their case.<\/p>\n

Writers similarly look for evidence while researching to locate the most important details and information that would be relevant to their topics.\u00a0 They might find information that causes them to rethink their initial stance, or they might find the perfect quote that supports what they already believe to be true.\u00a0 This evidence is then used to create an academic argument.<\/p>\n

In this section, you\u2019ll learn more about what kind of evidence you could use to support your stance on an issue.\u00a0 You\u2019ll determine how to find the best pieces of evidence from outside sources that can help you form your argument and later make your case.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
