Final Post #2

My favorite thing about the class was the papers. They were my favorite because we were given a lot of direction on what was needed to fulfill the criteria of the assignment. We had a lot of time to work on assignments and I thought it was really interesting to do research about topics. Although this was an online class, it was really fun to work with other people and get to know them. I’m glad that there wasn't a writing assignment every week unlike other classes and yet I still learned a lot. My least favorite thing about the class was posting 12 hours in between. As you can see, I've had a lot of problems due to not having internet or other circumstances making me post closer together. Also, I do not like how we have to comment on other people’s posts because it doesn't make the response natural since it is mandatory.

I have learned a lot about critical decision making as well as about myself during the course of this class. I was not aware of all of the factors that go into making a critical decision. I had no idea that there was a difference between argument and rhetoric. The group papers were a little difficult because we had to figure out how exactly to work together. However, the book about group communication helped. I learned the different roles of group members and how to run smoothly so that everyone's ideas can be heard. I learned how to construct a proper argument. There are a variety of marketing strategies that make consumers convinced that there product is the best. Language has many ways to control people’s thoughts and feelings.
