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.
