Are online college courses effective enough to keep higher education at a level that meets our country’s needs for prepared employees and people who
understand the importance of continued learning throughout life?
Introduction
A “position paper” is an assignment that you may come in contact with in several different types of college courses. As the name suggests, the assignment requires you to “take a position” on an argumentative topic.
For this module’s assignment, please ask yourself the following question:
Are online college courses effective enough to keep higher education at a level that meets our country’s needs for prepared employees and people who understand the importance of continued learning throughout life?
You may want to simply jot down your initial thoughts about the question above so that you have a “jumping off” point for your position paper.
Remember, you must take a single position on this topic. This means that you must include a thesis statement that says either
A. Yes, online college courses ARE effective enough to keep higher education at a level that meets our country’s needs for prepared employees and people who understand the importance of continued learning throughout life
Or
B. No, online college course ARE NOT effective enough to keep higher education at a level that meets our country’s needs for prepared employees and people who understand the importance of continued learning throughout life.
Even if you do feel that you could argue both sides of the issue, for this position paper, you must choose only ONE side.
