2). Since we are almost finished with assignment #2, please discuss the usefulness of the first or second major course assignment. Use specific examples.
Working on assignment #2, we were able to learn about an existing organization and applying what we have been learning in class. It helps us analyze the types of claims and arguments people use. We learn how to see and apply where we can find fallacies, reasonings, claims, emotion to appeal, and legitimacy of advertising. It was useful to work as a group and discuss everything to have a better idea on the different components we have been learning. It helps further our learning especially since we are discussion and interacting with one another to answer any questions or concerns we may have. Instead of just seeing examples through the book and having the analysis from the book, we get to see our own examples and create or own analysis to test what we have learned. My group has been a great group asking questions and communicating with one another.
Hi diamondkiller! It seems that everyone has been choosing to discuss assignment 2 because we are not able to research topics that interest us like certain social organizations. I totally agree that it helps further our learning because we apply the concepts from the book with our research of an interesting social organization. I think it helps us to learn the concepts from the book more. I also agree that it helps to actually discuss the topics with one another. What social organization did you and your group choose to do research on? I know that PETA has been very interesting to research on for our group.
