    The student argues that they will not receive a perfect score on their interim assessment II in ethics due to weaknesses in writing argumentative papers. Specifically, the student's skills in grammar and expressing their thoughts are not as strong as other students. When writing papers previously, the student received lower grades due to issues with their writing. However, the student acknowledges there is always a chance to improve their skills and potentially earn a perfect score by practicing different language forms and reading other papers. While the student currently lacks confidence in their abilities, they can refine their skills through dedicated practice and guidance.

    “Should your Ethics instructor give you a perfect score in your interim assessment II?”

    My argumentative paper's topic is giving us a perfect score on our interim assessment II


    in ethics. The ethics instructor, Mr. Ben Oliver, gave us a discussion task on how he would give
    each of us a perfect score on the subject matter of the course. As the only thing used to decide
    our scores in our interim assessment II will be our argumentative paper, which is due on March
    18, 2023, I won't be expecting him to get a perfect grade. I don't have confidence in my ability to
    write an argumentative paper, which is why I don't anticipate receiving a perfect score. Yet,
    whether our teacher will give us a perfect score is up to him. Also, if I submit a strong
    argumentative essay, he will grade us better. For the meantime, the task that I will do to get a
    perfect score in my interim assessment II is to make an outstanding paper.
    The first reason why I will not be able to give a perfect score is that my skills in making
    an argumentative paper are not as good as those of other college students. Still, my knowledge is
    not enough and my grammar in the English language is influential. As I remember, I made an
    argumentative paper before and sadly I got a lower grade because the way I input my thoughts in
    my paper was not as good as the instructor expected. Lack of wisdom is my problem in making
    an argumentative paper. According to Shang (2012) when students are asked to write an English
    composition, they may get nervous because they are afraid of making mistakes in language
    forms such as grammar and vocabulary. From a psychological perspective, there are many
    factors that might occur in writing problems. This evidence supports the argument because it
    relates to my situation in language forms such as grammar and vocabulary. Also, I got nervous
    when it comes to making an essay and presenting it in front of the students. Raimes (1983)
    confirmed that problems often faced by students in academic writing are not only about
    grammar, diction, and vocabulary but also how to express the idea in a target language using
    their language. This demonstrates that when I started to make my argumentative paper, I cannot
    complete it immediately. I had a lot of self-doubt situations while making an argumentative
    paper. That is why I don’t have confidence in many ways, especially in this kind of homework.
    Budjalemba and Listyani (2020) believed that other language skills writing also required
    students to practice those languages that they have learned. If students only learn the skill
    without practice, knowledge means nothing. This evidence supports the argument because I am a
    learner who has only infrequently utilized those kinds of language in previous years. Lack of
    practice makes myself being a nonsense learner as the other students/teachers mentioned the
    situation that I experienced. Honestly, until now I cannot keep up with other learners in this kind
    of topic-specific language form. In short, I am weak when it comes to vocabulary, diction, and
    even in grammar. The supported evidence was related to my weaknesses in any situations
    specifically essays/thesis.
    In spite of the fact that I will not get a perfect score on Ethics, there is always a chance
    how to get a perfect score. By always practicing myself in any kind of language form, I can
    easily improve my skills in making an argumentative paper. There are some mentors that will
    guide me well in creating an argumentative paper. According to Smart (2021), always read and
    read a lot. If you aren't reading other people's writing, your writing won't get better. Remember
    that good writers are also good readers. Share writing with other authors who have experienced
    similar things. They can help you make corrections and provide support. This evidence refutes
    the counterargument because it doesn’t mean that I cannot make a strong argumentative paper,
    2

    still I can improve my skills just to have a better grade or even a perfect score. There is always a
    possibility to get a perfect score in interim assessment II in Ethics. Smart (2021) believed that
    when making a schedule, write time in a strict time frame and make sure to follow it. Establish a
    space where you can write. Choose a workspace where you can focus on writing an essay, such
    as an office. This also refutes the counterargument because I’m a student that has no patience
    when it comes to practice in language forms especially making an argumentative paper.
    According to La-Gaffe (2021) that another wrong way to save time is to do it at the expense of
    the research process. All argumentative essays ask for considerable research, and not having
    enough evidence to support your claim can make your paper fall short of the essential criteria.
    The right way to save time at this stage is to make notes and adjust the quotations to the
    paragraphs in the outline.
    In summary, the first reason why I will not be able to give a perfect score is that my skills
    in making an argumentative paper is not as good as the other college students. As I remember, I
    made an argumentative paper before and sadly I got a lower grade because of the way I input my
    thoughts in my paper was not as good as the instructor expected. According to Shang when
    students are asked to write an English composition, they may get nervous because they are afraid
    of making mistakes in language forms such as grammar and vocabulary. Also, I got nervous
    when it comes to make an essay and present it in front of the students. This demonstrates that
    when I started to make my argumentative paper, I cannot complete it immediately. In spite of the
    fact that I will not get a perfect score and there is always a chance on how to get a perfect score.
    By always practicing myself in any kind of language forms, I can easily improve my skills in
    making an argumentative paper. This evidence refutes the counterargument because it does not
    mean that I cannot make a strong argumentative paper, still I can improve my skills just to have a
    better grade or even a perfect score. Smart believed that when making a schedule, writing time in
    a strict time frame and make sure to follow it. This also refutes to the counterargument because I
    am a student that has no patience when it comes to practices in language forms especially
    making an argumentative paper.
