- I learned a lot about rhetoric and about writing as well. I was able to formulate my own definition of rhetoric and I now side with a rhetorician, Aristotle, as opposed to, Plato. I learned that it is a good habit to communicate with your professors outside of class if you are struggling with something. I really enjoyed learning about the History of rhetoric and the different methods it was used for. It was interesting to find out at one point in time it was debated that rhetoric was something that not everyone could use, considering rhetoric is in everything we say. That would be like saying some people cannot speak.
- I have really enjoyed the out side of class reading paired with class discussions. I learn a lot when you over see class discussion when the students bring up a point or question and you give feed back or go more in depth on the point. The only struggle I have had is posting annotations or e-portfolio. I like the idea but I am disinclined technologically so it was tough for me. I did not have trouble with doing the annotations themselves.
