Further concept/s

Although I believe that as a class and individually we spent quite a bit of time understanding and analyzing inductive and deductive arguments, I also thought that I could have learned these types of arguments a bit more. The difference between Inductive and deductive reasoning were clear, but when I put everything together it seemed to mess up my thinking. The arguments seemed to be less understandable, so I had to repeatedly go back to the boss text and try to understand the arguments over and over again. This concept didn’t need further discussion because the book explained it well. It did need more examples and exercises so that we could practice understanding the concepts. If we could have had a couple more examples of these types of arguments, I think I would have understood the concepts better. Although this is so, all the other concepts in the readings were quite understandable.

likes and dislikes

In this class my favorite thing was that I could speak to all the students without really knowing who they were. It was fun stating my opinions on their blogg because we could speak freely and with an open mind. I really liked that we could all do this and respect each other as well. One of the things I did not like was that sometimes I would like to ask students questions about the class and they wouldn't respond on time or even at all. I would really like to interact a little more with my classmates. Although I like that we can interact with one another anonymously, I do not like that it is hard to communicate with each other. One way to fix this is to maybe have the opportunity to meet once every so often as a class and still have our anonymous blogg online. Hopefully this helps. I enjoyed taking this course!

The Mission Critical and Causal Argument Websites

These websites were helpful. The Mission Critical website needs some work on its web page formatting but it provides good information on the basics, the analysis and information needed for arguments. I liked how the main topics had more sections that were specific to the topics as well. Although this formatting was nice and easy to use, it does need some improvement. Just as I mentioned earlier, the website needs to be improved with better features and quality designs. The casual argument site had a different focus that was a bit more out there. The page stated everything in detail so that the casual arguments could be explained better. Although I liked the page I would add more modern features to the website. When looking at both websites, I decided that I liked both the pages because they addressed information that any communications class should know. Although they can be improved, the website serves their purpose.

Incorrect conclusion

A couple months ago I met someone who seemed to be an extraordinary person. Her grades were great, she was very kind to everyone, many people were very fond of her, and she appeared to be the sweetest and most harmless person in the world. She never did anything wrong and I was very fooled by what she appeared to be. Unfortunately, I discovered a side of her that I would have never thought she had. I went over to her house to work on an assignment for class. She had previously told me to invite myself in when I arrived because she was going to be taking a shower and she wasn’t going to be able to open the door. Because of this, I tried coming 30 minutes earlier so that she would know I was there, but when I arrived she never opened the door. I invited myself in like she told me to do as originally planned. As I headed towards her room, I could hear her loudly speaking over the phone about how tired she was about faking the friendship she had made with my friends and I. What was worst was not that she was faking every single part of herself, but that she was doing it so that she could steel my friend’s boyfriend. She apparently was after him for a very long time. As she spoke to her mother, it seemed like her mother encouraged this behavior until it was possible for the girl to get what she wanted. I was shocked. I would have never thought this from someone in our circle of friends, especially her. This actually got me thinking that narcissist disorders actually exist. This behavior shows many attributes of this disorder and a couple other scientific finding on personality disorders as well.

daily horoscope

Although, I don’t really believe in predictions my horoscope was partially accurate. On Saturday April 28th, my horoscope said that the money I have been waiting for in the mail will come in due time and that I was not going to be able to do anything about it to speed up the process. This money will supposedly arrive shortly and then my financial difficulties will be resolved. I do admit that I have been short on cash for a while, for my savings have been gradually diminishing lately but, I have not been waiting for some money to arrive specifically in the mail or in some sort of envelope. This prediction is falsifiable because I can prove part of it wrong by using a counter example. Instead of waiting for money to come to me in the mail I can say I was really waiting to hear from a new job that I have applied for so that I can start earning money. Also, if I was able to somehow contact other employers and get a job faster, I could probably receive the money I need a lot faster than just sitting around waiting for it. One last event that would make this horoscope falsifiable would be receiving the money I need and still not getting out of my financial difficulties for a very long time. Even though I do not believe in predictions, hopefully I can get the money I need just how the horoscope predicted.

Sadler Vs. Hunt

Although it is true that some students have difficulties writing, the value of grades over rule the actual learning experience, plagiarism is unrecognizable for many student and that scholarly writing is much like plagiarism, we must never forget that we cannot take credit for something that is not our own work. I believe that Brook J. Sadler presents the best argument because she gives a clear stand to why plagiarism should not take place, why it isn’t fair, why student do not benefit from it, why it deceive others and the student committing plagiarism, and why it doesn’t benefit the student educational career. Sadler gives a solution to the plagiarism problem that makes sense and fallows guidelines as to what the argument that Russell Hunt provides does not. Russell only states four reasons as to why plagiarism is not bad and why helping student understand plagiarism is not helpful at all. These reasons are not sufficient enough to actually cover the whole subject. This is why I think that Sadler has the better argument.
