Assignment:

Using the given readings, in addition to your own experiences and observations, write an essay that argues your opinion on the question, “Should college tuition be free?

Your thesis statement must assert more than “College tuition should/not be free;” it must include at least one reason why or otherwise narrow or specify your argument.

For example, you could explore arguments like those listed below:

As long as the funding model for colleges remains based on student enrollment, college tuition should be free.

College tuition should not be free, because students would be less motivated to complete degrees if they don’t have financial “skin in the game.”

If college did not charge students for tuition, students might be more likely to take risks and choose degrees based on interests rather than total cost.

The OA Essay must—

Include a bibliography or works cited page in addition to at least four pages of text

Cite at least two of the given sources. You should not do additional research for this assignment

Include at least six in-text citations, which must include summary, paraphrase, and direct quotation from the two or more sources you choose.

Sources
