Fallacies.
Please have a high level knowledge of writing, research, and argumentation and advocacy. Social Issues Research
In this course you will be asked to do independent research on a topic that is of interest to you
and keep that topic for the semester. As researcher, it is often difficult to know where to begin
any undertaking, so our library has put together some starting points on various prominent social
issues of our day. This list is not exhaustive and to be successful you will need to add your own
research.
For research in the course each assignment requires academic peer-reviewed material. This
includes academic journals or published academic level books. Ask your professor about sources
if you have questions. For example, the Salem Press Encyclopedia that is linked in this document
is not a peer-reviewed journal, but is a good academic source for beginning research. Finally, do
not limit your research to academic journals.
