Course Reflection

Over the course of this semester I have learned a lot being apart of our Comm41 Critical Decision Making class. I learned a lot as a scholar and I also learned a lot as a person. I was forced to learn to manage my time appropriately and handle specific tasks without the help of anyone else. Since each weeks class work was given at the beginning of the week and due by the end of the week, I had to rely on time-management skills to make sure I completed the work.
Furthermore, I learned ways of reasoning to help resolve good arguments from bad arguments. What helps me when diagnosing an argument, is identifying certian components of the argument. For example, I like to figure out the purpose of the argument to start off. Once I figure out that part, then I decide which of the two sides makes the most sense. In order for an argument to make sense, the reasoning has to be relevant to the argument at hand.
Lastly, I learned how to come together with a group of people that I never met before, and work as a group together. As a result, this also caused me to gain leadership skills that I never even knew I had in me.
