We are going to be starting our term papers soon, so today in class we took notes on the way we will be working. We will be using the Toulmin Model of Argument, created by British philosopher Stephen Toulmin.
The Toulmin Model does not allow any absolutes. Instead, it uses qualifiers, specific conditions under which the argument would be correct.
Following the Toulmin Model, any realistic argument consists of six parts: data, claims, warrants, qualifiers, rebuttals, and backing.
We don't know much about the term papers (such as a topic), but it will be out of 1000 points and we will be required to make 100 notecards when the time comes.
The Neoclassicism test is on Thursday.
