Consider your audience as other adult learners and prospective adult learners. You can choose to craft a statement useful to all prospective students, focus on an academic discipline, or another important aspect of your college experience. Make sure your introductory comments clearly identify your target audience.

  • Identify at least one area where their persuasive message may be improved.

  • Include a minimum of one scholarly and/or credible source in your reply that defends your position.
