What NOT TO DO while writing your argumentative synthesis essay

An argument synthesis essay works to provide informative details about the writer’s point of view of the topic. It features a strong thesis statement that is followed by organized research data. The data is presented in a matter that is logic, while supporting the main idea or thesis of the paper. This may also be referred to as a written discussion on a topic, but written in formal structure.

Because this form of essay writing can be challenging on different levels, students are prone to making more mistakes or have a higher chance of misunderstanding what is expected of them. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing this form of writing. Lack of content may cause you to lose focus on your topic, which could end up in producing a poorly written essay. The following tips are actions you should try to avoid while writing your essay.

  • In many cases, this form of writing requires you to view details from two viewpoints or positions. Some fail to have a clear position on each side even though they may have their own opinion that fits one. This could cause you to write your content from one view point instead of from each side.
  • Leave out information that actually presents the argument. Some feel that just because most people feel strongly or have similar opinions on the topic, they think they should write about it from that view only. If you fail to present details from both sides, your essay won’t have an argument.
  • Lose focus of the main idea or argument. You can have a good argument but if you lack details to support it, you can lose focus while writing your essay. An outline can be helpful in getting an overall idea on the data you wish to include. Organize your information and make sure you have sufficient data to present a thorough argument.
  • Forget to double check facts and data to make sure there is a good connection. Again, if you lose focus on your topic, the information you present won’t make sense.
  • Write or present your data as another form of essay writing. Some students get confused while writing their content from analyzing their topic from the wrong perspective. Meaning, the strategies or thinking concepts they are using may be used for other forms of essay writing instead of argumentative.
