Some things ive Learned This year

This has been my first online class at San Jose State and I though of it being a little interesting. I did not know what to expect out of this but surprisingly, I have learned a lot. In this course, I learned a lot about arguments and what makes a good or bad arguments. I also learned the different parts of an argument including the premise and the conclusions. The premise and the conclusion have to work together in order to create a strong argument, not one or the other. I also have learned the strategies that advertisements and commercials use in order for their audience to respond to their ads. they use different spites such as: fear, comedy, and pity to have the audience think what the commercial wants them to think. Persuasion has also been a big topic that we have talked about in this class. I also learned from this class that I would not take another online class again because I like to hear lectures instead of reading the book and doing exercises. I think i learn better in the classroom than at home on a computer.

  1. This was almost my first online class and it sure was interesting. I too did not know what to expect, just because I did not have to physically go to class everyday and sit in lectures, but rather I had to be independent and work on my own. I still had to make sure I got the work done which was hard sometimes because I always had to remember to do this assignment or do this discussion. But I managed to get through the semester, and we are finally in the last week of school. I've learned a lot of different concepts that I probably would not focus on so much in other classes. The things i've learned can help me become a better writer as well as a group member.
