Very informative and a great guide to nutrition. Will reference in future and return to this course.
by Jordan G. on September 25, 2023
I received a grade on an argumentative essay that stated the topic was too subjective. To my understanding, to make an argument, the topic should be subjective (defined as "pertaining to an individual") in order to even be brought up. If an argument is not subjective, it becomes fact. I'm disappointed by the grade I received in Touchstone 4, which was largely guided by the sample essay provided in the touchstone. Many of the comments I received about my essay would also pertain to the sample essay, which leads me to believe the sample essay should be altered to align with the touchstone goals.
