by Eugene Ortiz
Price: $0.99 USD. 13500 words.
Published on November 6, 2011. Nonfiction.
In This Is Still Not Your High School English Class, you will discover the roles of formal and practical reasoning in the creation of a strong argumentative essay; learn the pitfalls of logical fallacies; revisit audience appeals (pathos, ethos, and logos); and discuss why plagiarism, although a very serious pitfall and academic offense, is not nearly as hard to avoid as you might think.
