A Primer on Argument Assessment
This paper follows up A Primer on Argument by providing introductory information about how to assess arguments. The structure is as follows. The opening section identifies and summarizes prerequisite information a reader needs to understand to understand this document. Section 2 introduces a way (but not the only way) to assess atomic arguments. Section 3 does the same for compound arguments. Section 4 wraps everything up. Appendix A collects the crucial information in one place. Appendix B explicates a detailed assessment example. The paper is published as a white paper because it is intended to be updated as additional experience is gained with its use.
