From first steps to final submission, this accessible guide takes students through each stage of the assignment-writing process and equips them with the skills they need to construct and develop convincing academic arguments.

Concise and compact, it offers practical advice on forming ideas, structuring arguments, and finding your academic voice.

The second edition contains new material on synthesising ideas from different sources, as well as more varied examples of what 'finding your academic voice means' in the context of different assignments, including blogs and observations.

Applicable to different types of assignment, Where's Your Argument? is an essential resource for all undergraduates and postgraduates who are looking to communicate their arguments effectively and improve the quality of their academic writing.
