Week 3

Select a topic you care about (e.g., music’s impact on wellbeing). Access the Points of View Reference Source in the library to find one source about it and outline both a claim and a counterclaim. Discuss how considering the opposing view improves your own argument. List your source using an APA citation at the end of your post. For this discussion, you will apply the same integrity you learned about in the Unit 3 Activity to argument writing by exploring both sides of an issue and using credible sources to strengthen your own position. In response to your peers: Identify whether their counterclaim challenges their main point effectively and suggest one additional piece of evidence they might consider.

Part Three

In this assignment, you will explore your personal identity and how it shapes your academic experience. You will reflect on how you communicate with yourself, assess your strengths and challenges, and develop a plan for seeking support and managing academic anxiety. This is an opportunity to find your voice, not just in writing, but in how you advocate for yourself and navigate your educational path. By reflecting, you can develop self-awareness and understand how internal communication affects motivation, confidence, and academic behavior.
