College writing utilizes many argumentative types of essays, and you will have to write many essays in college where you will need to state an argument, support your argument, and also read, dissect, and look for weakness in other arguments. For this fourth essay, you will need to write an argumentative essay in exclusive third person. The essay needs a solid introduction, a concession paragraph (counter argument), three additional body paragraphs, and a conclusion (six paragraphs total). You will need a minimum of six sources including at least one from the Grossmont Library as well as one source from the selected readings that we have covered. Also, this essay should come to four pages minimum, not including the works cited page.

In addition, this fourth essay is about technology.
