What I have learned in this course mainly was how to be responsible. The difference from this responsibility and one from a normal class was that not once did we meet in a class room and not once did we talk in person with the teacher. Every week I had to check the website and make sure I was staying on top of my work because we didn't see a teacher anytime throughout the entire week to remind us we had homework. Also we had to be responsible with our groups because we relied on one another to do our part and turn it in on time. When looking at the class though i learned a lot about fallacies. I had never really heard of fallacies before so that was interesting to learn how to argue properly and not have fallacies in my argument. The appeal to emotion fallacy was my favorite because I feel that is used quite often in arguments because people know that the fastest way to beat someone in an argument is to get into their or the audiences emotions. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot!

Hey there Big Cat I really like your work on this post. I agree with you that while taking this course you really have to be on top of your stuff at all times to get a good grade. It can be real easy to forget sometimes about your blog. Checking the website could sometimes be a hassle for me but I got used to it quick. Our group responsibility was another thing we had to worry about so I agree with that. But we seemed to work it out well. Overall good job on this post and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHey Big Cat!!
ReplyDeleteIt was super nice getting to meet you and I'm glad we were groupmates! I totally agree with your blog. Having an online course is super different than having to go to class everyday. I wasn't use to having to check our professor's blog, literally almost everyday just to be on track with our homework. It sure taught us all how to be responsible. It was a little bit stressful how we had to meet in "real time" but I'm glad we did everything so well together! I thought we did a really good job in communicating with each other and how we finished everything on a timely manner. Have a great summer and nice meeting you! =)
