Exercise 1

Graff and Birkenstein argue that an academic writing have to have your opinion as response to some idea. A writing that only states your opinion is nonsense because nobody cares about your opinion if they are not interest in the topic. They also said that the response could be stated or implied. Also in course description, Professor Bammert argues that good Academic Writing should be response to some current issue. Good writing is not your position but how you response to other’s point of view. In both cases, academic writing need to be a response to some issue or problem.
