1). Use an example from outside of the classroom. Discuss Subjective and Objective Claims. Give an example of a Subjective Claim you have heard or used recently AND give an example of an Objective Claim you have heard or used recently. Describe the situation. Describe the claims IN DETAIL.
Subjective: Use of personal feelings and emotions for judgement.
A use of a subjective claim I have encountered is through Yelp.com. I work at a restaurant called the Boiling Crab and like many other restaurants, they all face the judgements and ratings of customers on Yelp. Yelp reviewers/Customers rate places listed on Yelp.com to help other people have a better idea of the particular place. Yelp reviews are the personal feelings and emotions judging their experience at restaurants. So then, the other curious customers view Yelp to have an idea of how good a restaurant is in either the food or customer service. Each posting on yelp serves as a subjective claim judging on their entire experience at the restaurant through the quality of their meal at the restaurant to how well their server took care of them as they feasted. Whenever we have store meetings, we tend to mention Yelp reviews. The customers posts on yelp help also critique my restaurant and help us continue to progress in creating a better and more enhanced experience for our customers to enjoy.
Objective: Does not use personal feelings and emotions for judgement.
A use of an objective claim I have encountered was in a situation of when one of my fellow employees was put on probation. At my work, there are certain policies we must follow to ensure high level performance and the most efficiency. One example is punching in the weight of the crab in our orders. Us servers are to be sure to punch in the weight of each crab we give out to the tables so we do not undercharge anyone especially since crab is the most expensive item on our menu. So, having a customer pay without the amount of the crab on their bill, we would be in a loss from that charge. Thus, to ensure the servers to be extra careful and aware of punching in the weight of the crab, we are warned that we would be put in probation, break from work for 1-2 weeks, if we are at fault. I have witness employees put on probation for being at fault for their incident of a "missed crab". With this occurrence and evidence that someone forgot to take note of the weight of the crab on a customer's bill, my boss would have to make his objective claim that the employee must face punishment through probation.

First off, I would just like to say that I think it was very smart of you to include the question or the prompt with your answer just to make sure you as well as others, know that you answered the question completely. Both of your definitions for subjective and objective claims are short and sweet, to the point. Your examples are good and easy to help understand the concept of objective and subjective claims.
