Discussion Questions: Week Thirteen

What have you learned in this class over the course of the semester?  Be specific. 


I have acquired multiple new concepts from communication 41 critical thinking class. The first new concept that I have learned was the multiple differences in concealed claims. I never knew there were so many different concealed claims. For instance, ridicule which is a claim making up false dilemmas to lower the credibility of the other party. Also this communication class has widen my overall vocabulary. This communication class has given me terms so I am able analyze the claims people make around me. Additionally, this class as reinforced group work for me. I had stop participating in group work since high school so it was unusual for to work in groups again. But I realize the group projects can be based in real life situation where we might we have jobs that require group work and this class has further my understanding of group situations and working with others. The third concept I have learned from this communication class was how an fully online class functions. This class was my first fully online class without attending classroom and it was a very interesting experience. In the near future if I had a choice to do an online class I would definitely do it again. As a matter of fact, I will be taking another fully online class during the winter. Although I did not discuss the other concepts that I had learned from this semester of communication class I had definitely grasp a wide range of knowledge. 


Thank you! :)
