In fact, descriptive writing means that you are representing a situation as it stands, without presenting any analysis or discussion or reporting ideas but not taking them forward in any way. <\/span><\/p>\n In this sense, when we speak on building an argument, we are considering critical writing and not descriptive writing. <\/span><\/p>\n Thus, how should we build an argument?<\/span><\/p>\n The structure of the argument is o<\/span>ne of the aspects in which you need to pay attention when building an argument. An argument consists of conclusion and evidence. It is important to understand the structure of an argument because it enables a reader to comment on various works effectively<\/span>.<\/p>\n Another aspect that one must keep in mind is the line of argument. When reading critically, the most important part of the analysis is to determine whether the reasons presented really support the main argument.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scientific Writing Resources \/ General Guidelines in Scientific Writing \/ Building an Argument Academic Integrity Building an Argument Critical Reading Critical Writing Figures and Tables Paragraphs\u00a0\u00a0 Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing Peer-review\u00a0 Response to Reviewers\u2019 Critiques Plagiarism Writing Tips and Tools Types or Styles of Writing How to evaluate online information resources Miscellaneous Dissertation\/ Thesis\u00a0 Journal […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-192","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1983,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/192\/revisions\/1983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
