3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading this week, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
I will be discussing a section from the Epstein Critical Thinking book. I will be discussing mistaking the person for the claim in chapter 5. Alright, there are always times when anyone including me is guilty of this mistake. As people we tend to judge people right when we see them first. So for my example for my freshmen spring semester I took a macroeconomics class. The first day of class my professor shocked me with his accent. When he lectured the class not only was it long and boring and most importantly it was not understandable due to his heavy accent. So the first day of class I sat there dozing off. Since it was only the beginning of the course there wasn't much difficulty with the assignments he assigned so I was doing alright. But as the semester became more intense I started getting confuse regarding the homework he assigned. So finally I decided to see him during office hours. He went over the material with me slowly and ensure I understood what the question was asking and how I should approach the problem. In the end, I realize how wrong I was about the economics professor. Even though he had a heavy accent that didn't mean he didn't understand the material that he was teaching. In fact, after I realized that, that was when I started paying attention and listening. Overall, the economics class in the end wasn't so bad. I learn that sometimes you can't always judge how a person is just by first looks.
Thank you for reading! :]
