A claim is not a fact that is true or false; it can be an opinion, argument, or something stated that is counterintuitive. Causal claims are opinions and proposals.
Make sure not to add a lot of claims that might disclaim your claims. They can hurt your argument and skew the purpose of the paper.
Claims can be factual, that’s rare. Facts require selection, characterization, interpretation, and to be placed in context.
When a claim fails its because the author does not add evidence to support it. You just need a little bit of evidence to support it.
Types of claims:
~Cause and effect
~Evaluative
-Comparative
-Quality
-Contrast
~Persuasive
-Dissuasive
-Warning
~Ethical/Moral
~Proposal/Imperative
~Insinuation/Implication
There are more than 2 sides to an argument, there are many.
Anything that is obvious is never right.
Make sure to clarify your points so the audience can fully understand what you want them to absorb from your paper.

Comp notes 10/25/17
Facts require selection, characterization, interpretation, and context.
Truly factual claims are quite rare
It’s quite common to refute the claim based on lack of evidence
It’s rare for a claim to always carry its own evidence
If you have a reason to refute a claim, then it needs to carry its evidence
“if you are playing poker and it is time to show cards, and your opponent has absolutely nothing, do you get to claim the pot?”
You have to prove that you have the better hand to take the pot.
You have to show something
All you have to do to refute a factual claim is to provide a fact of your own
Claims can be causal
Claims can evaluate
These claims can be
Comparative
quality
contrast
Claims can bet persuasive
These claims can be
Dissuasive
Warning
Safety and unsafety are things that need evaluation
“Something should occur” “something has to happen” are examples of ethical claims
Claims can be proposals
Claims can be rhetorical, or insinuated, or implied
How many sides are there to an argument?
That is irrational
There can be an infinite amount of proposals

If the author doesn’t give evidence to support their claim then any evidence you give can repute the claim.
Claims could be cause and effect, evaluation, ethical, persuasive, proposal, or implication.
Evaluations can be comparative or have contrast. Persuasive can be dissuasive or a warning.

Other claims besides fact or opinion. A statement can have several claims. You don’t want to share a source’s claim that is opposite to your own. Every claim doesn’t need to have evidence to prove it. The only reason to dispute it, is to have your own evidence that packs your disapproval. To dispute factual claim you only need to show a little more evidence against it.
Causal claim: one thing causes something else.
Persuasive: based on moral imperatives
-dissuasive
-warning
Ethical: showing moral/ethical ties
Proposal or imperative: declaring something
Insinuation or implication: underlying
Evaluation:
-comparative
-quality
-contrast

Describing range of possibilities by being distinct. Painting picture in readers eyes. Dividing world into simple yes or no catergories doesn’t help with outlook.
