CLAIM (debatable, provable, and significant) >EVIDENCE (credible)>REASONING (persuasive)
"A formal [academic]argument clearly states the claim or position it argues and presents a well-developed chain of evidence leading to a reasonable conclusion supporting the claim. The chain of evidence itself may include a wide variety of elements ranging from personal experience to statistical data and expert testimony" (Writing@CSU, Colorado State University).
