Make a claim on an issue and support it with reliable and valid library sources. You will need to demonstrate that you can synthesize the information and points of view of different authors, subordinating their voices and arguments to your own and using them to support your unique thesis in a coherent, well-organized, rhetorically effective argument. Need to demonstrate that you understand and can use the conventions of academic research writing: attributing borrowed ideas and words; and quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing. Must use and cite at least 4 credible library sources.
