Why do some of my students not get the basics of an argument for P?
1. Introduce the issue and its importance. 2. Give the argument form for P 3. Give the evidence for P. 4. Respond to salient objections to P 5. Conclude.
The devil's in the details, I suppose. Constructive feedback would need the details of what's trying to be communicated & how.
