How to write an assertion?

21
1. Be knowledgeable
Make sure your facts are straight before you start writing your
assertion. Do some research on the subject.

22
2. Back it all up
Your assertions need to be stable throughout. Surround them with
your research findings.

23
3. Be clear and concise
Since assertion lets you take a stand on your topic, it’s essential
that you keep things clear and concise. Don’t beat around the
Bush. State your claim.
