Lesson


What I feel like should have been going over more is the topic of reasoning and evidence. I feel like this is one of the most important part in everyone’s paper nowadays which is how to present your points to the audience and how to present it in a way that makes them understand you. I feel like a lot of my papers have problems providing the points I need and if I had more information on how to use it I believe my papers will indeed be stronger. This goes well with the type of language you use in your paper. I learned a lot about persuasive papers and how they take out any detail that makes your paper weak in any way. Therefore you only use evidence that support your topic in order to get the outcome of the audience that you want. I feel like this topic is a very important part and each student should understand the uses of it.

What I Liked about the Class


I like this class because there were many interesting topics I had to read in order to do my homework. I feel like there were a lot of things I learned from these topics giving me a stronger understanding of word uses and how we can utilize it in real life. I like how the class is presented in which everyone do their daily blogs and also comments on other people’s blogs. I feel like it fits the students nowadays because technology is definitely a big part in our life not. It’s similar to facebook and twitter, which people use almost daily. It wasn’t hard to access this page at least 4-5 times a day and was definitely easy to work with. The only problem with this class was it was a bit hard to catch on to everything in the beginning. I feel like if we met with the teacher one time going over the instructions it would definitely be easier. Other than that the work was fairly straightforward and many topics were interesting to read.

Class Lessons


This class have introduced me to many topics that I haven’t took notice before. I learned how to interact with groups and point out the different roles each member plays. In order to have a strong group each member has to play their roles in order to have a successful outcome. I learned about the many uses of language and how to engage with others to make a certain view or perspective stronger on your side. This helped me with my speeches and papers because it showed me what I was missing in some of my papers for my other class to make it stronger. I noticed there were many main ideas or points I could add to my paper and speeches to reach out to audiences in a stronger view. Furthermore I learned the different types of reasoning and evidence and how to utilize it to make the audience feel a certain way. Last I would like to talk about the different arguments people use and how people use it to express their point of view. Overall I learned a lot from this class, which I can use now for my future classes.
