The semester in Comm 41 I have learned so many great lessons that it is quite difficult to pick just one thing that I would like to see further explanation on. Between generalizations and claims there is so much still to learn about the art of communication but one subject I think I could use some more time and explanation on would be about Fallacies. This was a pretty long chapter and lesson to learn, especially because there are so many different types of fallacies and learning when to spot one does taker lots of practice. I believe just being to point out a fallacy is a great accomplishment; knowing that it is a bad argument and then coming to the conclusion that it is an argument that is un-repairable is pretty amazing. Then there all the different types of fallacies that we have to know, were talking about 7+ different kinds of fallacies that we have to know the background of each one. It is a bit confusing in the beginning but once you break it down and get to spend a little more time on them I believe we all can have the art of finding fallacies down pat.
I can't believe this is my last blog of the semester!It really is just now hitting me and it definitely is a bitter sweet moment. This class was a great learning tool and I am really glad I took it. In the beginning I knew it was a challenge but as the semester went along it did get easier just like Professor Perez said! I wish everyone best of luck on their finals and I hope we all have a wonderful summer :)
