Writing of essays at
the college level is almost like a routine. The students are required
to write numerous essays before they could finish their course. These
essays tackle diverse issues but the most important and known essays
at the college level are the argumentative essays. The basis of
writing these essays starts with a topic. These topics are carefully
chosen by the student or sometime given out by the teachers. At the
college level, we introduce a thesis, not a claim anymore. The aim of
the topic should be to make sure that the essay is written in line
with the thesis. Defending the thesis is not an easy task as the
student is required to have at most strong points.
Argumentative college topics are
most often generated to help the students identify their strengths in
leadership and other skills that would be useful for them in the
future. The topics are in most cases suggested by the teachers but at
times the student need to research on these topics on their own and
generate the points needed to support these topics. Sometimes when
defending the thesis, the essay does not reveal all that is required
of it. That means that the student chose a topic that he/she could
not do enough research on, for that matter the essay is rendered
baseless. If the essay is rendered baseless, then the student has no
choice but to start over or choose another topic that would be essay
to write on. Argumentative college topics are sometimes very tricky
and would require the student to do a lot of brainstorming to come up
with the right point that the topic is trying to put across.
Argumentative
college topics are well researched before they are given to the
students to do their research and write the essays. If not taken
seriously these topics would land one in hot soup. Sometimes the
college’s aim is to test the student on their specific areas of
study and the skills they have acquired. This would mean that the
essay plays an important role in compiling the students overall grade
and scores. Test scores sometimes do not reveal exactly what the
students can or cannot do, but these essay sure can tell lot about a
student beginning with the topic they chose to write on. Students who
fall for the snare of ‘Googling’ up topics and writing about them
may find themselves in trouble.
The topic should
guide the student and help them come up with the right arguments and
facts that will be used to analyze the depth of the essay. College
topics are perhaps the most difficult to come up with but students
have innovative ways of solving their problems. They visit the
internet where their research work is done for them and they only pay
up afterwards. This idea is dangerous as the paper might be a
plagiarism material and this might land the student in deep trouble.
