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.
Hello there =) I agree that reasoning and evidence is definitely important and can be applied in papers, like you mentioned as well as everyday interactions. In order to prove a point, reasoning and evidence is the backing support you need to make sense. Because of this, I definitely think that it should be one of the main points of the course, or at least emphasized more. If you are making an argument and it lacks reasoning or evidence, no one will take you seriously and you lose out on an opportunity to prove a point. I think there’s so many different topics that are important in this course that it is hard to focus on certain ones without missing out on the others.
