Stance

Attitude towards topic

This can be indicated with bias, in APA 7 format on the cover page you indicate any biases you might have towards the topic. I’ve misunderstood stance throughout this whole semester. One day, I clearly indicate what stance is and define it in an article, and the next day I’m confused and have to look back on my notes and genre analysis.
