A topic I felt could have used further explanation

Even though I feel like we spent a lot of time on each topic and learned a lot about each topic, the one topic that I would have liked to be able to have had more of an explanation would have been the section that was about inductive and deductive reasoning.  I am not denying the fact that I learned a lot of information on the both types of reasoning, but I still do not feel confident on both topics.  I feel like I do not fully understand both of the types of reasoning and it would have been more beneficial to have gotten more of an explanation on them especially since this is a topic that is very important in our lives.  Maybe instead of more explanation we could have done a couple more exercises on the topic so that we really understand what each reasoning was because I know that I can grasp things easier by doing exercises.  But, besides this section of the course I felt very confident in everything we learned and was able to grasp the concepts with ease. 

What I have learned

This last semester in this class has taught me a numerous amount of different things.  Some of the most important things being about critical thinking that are used in our lives.  Like when you are making an argument or making a decision.  I even remember learning about how emotion can sometimes alter our decisions, which showed me how important of a role our emotions play in everything we do.  There was even one part of this semester where we learned how to recognize different parts of the argument so that we could break it down.   We even learned about the different types of arguments, inductive and deductive, and how to evaluate each one.  But, the information that we learned that stuck out to me was when we learned about mass media and their marketing/advertising techniques.  Overall, I believe that I learned a lot of things that will help me to see the world in a different perspective but mostly I have learned to be able to use my critical thinking skill efficiently.

This Class

Honestly, I really liked this class. This was my first time taking an online class and though it was hard to communicate with your group when doing a group project since you do not see your classmates everyday.  It taught me other forms of communication.  I liked that with this online class we had the freedom to do our homework or tests on our own time with the time that was allotted to us.  The thing that I think I liked the most is that we were able to voice our own opinion and do it in a way that is geared to what we do in this generation; where we are really technologically advanced.  The only thing that I did not like was that we did not have that constant reminder of what is do since we do not meet twice a week. Instead, we are in charge of reading our class website to see our homework and be in charge of doing our posts.  Though it was hard to remember it taught me a lot about responsibility and especially time management with the posts and comments.
