Discussion Question #1- Week 16

1) What have you learned in this class over the course of the semester?  Be specific. 


After taking this Comm. class, i have learned a lot over the semester. In addition to taking Comm. 41 i also took Comm. 40 this semester and a lot of the concepts that I was learning, i happened to be learning in both classes to a certain extent- So it was like doubling learning for me. 
Specifically in this class i enjoyed learning about what specifically a claim is and the in depth details of a claim and how a claim can be used. I also enjoyed learning about what exactly an argument is and how an argument can be strong/weak, and valid. Everyone knows how to argue its just in our nature to be able to argue and defend ourselves, however there are specific details in an argument that we might not know about; and this class gave me that insight on the in depth detail about arguments. 
Overall, i thought this class gave me an overall good insight on what is right and wrong in arguing and how to argue correctly. Aslo, how to evaluate an argument with specific details and concepts that we have learned throughout the semester. 
I enjoyed this class, although it was an online class which made it a little hard to really interact with fellow students and made it a bit harder to meet with our group and sometimes made it hard to fully understand that material without the professor lecturing or explaining face to face; this class was overall easy to understand.

  1. Hey there mmorgan! You got lucky that your communication classes were teaching about the same material because that just benefits you by not having to learn so much which can make you even more confused. This class also made me realize that when we argue, which every body does, arguing is much more than just talking back to one another; we do not recognize that we are arguing with “style.” I agree that it was bit hard to meet up with our groups, especially the first time when we didn’t even know how one another looked like. Overall, greatly detailed post!!
