Avoiding Fallacies
After you have finished writing your essay, you should look back for any logical fallacies. If you find any in your essay, correct them as best you can, and then write a couple of paragraphs in which you describe how that fallacy is easy to commit, and how it can impact an argument. If you do not find any fallacies in your writing, choose a fallacy you think you have committed in the past and write on that.
