Interview several of your classmates as well as one or two of your instructors about how free free speech should be. Then, edit the deductive and inductive arguments you wrote using the templates on the previous pages so that they include some of these comments.

Write an essay in which you take a position on the question, “Should Universities Be Able to Place Limits on Free Speech?” Make sure that your essay is organized primarily as either a deductive argument or an inductive argument. Use the readings in this chapter as source material, and be sure to document all information that you get from these sources. (See Chapter 10 for information on documenting sources.)

Review the logical fallacies discussed earlier in this chapter. Then, reread the essay you wrote for Exercise 5.14, and check to see if it contains any fallacies. Underline any fallacies you find, and identify them by name. Then, rewrite each statement so it expresses a logical argument. Finally, revise your draft to eliminate any fallacies you found.

Review the four pillars of argument discussed in Chapter 1. Does your essay include all four elements of an effective argument? Add anything that is missing. Then, label the key elements of your essay.
