For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:

Reflection is important to the process of writing research-supported arguments. Particularly when writing persuasive arguments, we should reflect on our experiences and how to bring those to life for our reader.

In your post, as you reflect on your own experiences in this class, describe how you will use research in your professional or personal writing going forward.

• What have you learned that you can apply at work or in your personal writing?
• How might incorporating research help to strengthen your arguments personally and/or professionally?

Tips for Completing Your Post

• Consider the most recent time you made an argument in writing. Perhaps you wrote an e-mail to a supervisor or colleague at work in which you had to persuade them to take a particular course of action. Maybe you commented on a news article posted online.
• How could you use research in these types of writing activities in the future to strengthen your argument and drive your point home for your reader?
