How to deepen your argumentation? Tips:

Many of us, I reckon, have experienced the problem of not having enough depth in their arguments. We end up  gathering information from 5 or 6 places and then reinterpreting and twisting it around to come up with a coherent argument. As a result we are stuck with a C or a C+ again.

My advice:

- Increase the number of sources you are using. Some people use as much as 50 references in an academic essay and as a result they get high marks most of the time!

- Differentiate the types of sources you are using. You may not want to be using only books. The newest scientific trends are firstly outlined in journals.


- Why not make an online poll, and reference it later in your essay. Professors value that kind of initiatives. This also shows involvement with the topic and may add depth where depth is missing.

- The essence of the problem is reached after you mention more than 2 authors. So read a bit more widely if necessary!
