Writing has always been something I have gotten enjoyment from; sentence structure and grammar being a particular interest of mine. In school, I was quick to catch mistakes in writings and was often praised for my ability to string stories together. Closely observing the techniques and styles of authors I admired, I’ve considered myself to be more of an effective emulator of writing than a true writer. Personally, writing has always been a vehicle for artistic expression, meaning I usually made…
While technology is a great thing for children, I believe parents should regulate the amount of technology they allow children to use daily. Often time’s extreme amounts of technology usage in children can cause distraction, isolation, and some are losing the ability to display proper verbal communication skills. The type of claim my thesis statement expresses is the claim of cause. I feel this way because I am speaking directly about a cause and effect. If children use too much technology it…
different writing styles that are both extremely important. Do we sacrifice fantasies for structure, or critical thinking for our minds to wander?

Descartes is trying to prove the existence of God, and the reason he is doing so he can further try to prove the existence of everything else. He did so by going through a series of meditations. In his fifth meditation Descartes said that the mind and the body are two distinct substances. His main premise was Cogito Ergo Sum which means I think therefore I am. With Cogito Ergo Sum he is certain of his existence. He differentiates understanding a concept and imagination, then goes onto say that…
Higher education institutions are now more than ever being pushed to provide large amounts of data and information to accrediting bodies and governing boards. This push for continuous evaluation and improvement has increased the need for new ways to measure student learning and development (Kuh, Pace, and Vesper, 1997). Institutions have turned to student surveys as a convenient avenue for assessing outcomes that would be impractical or difficult to measure with existing tools (Astin, 1993).…
“Facilitator’s Goal: Students will improve as readers, writers, speakers, viewers, listeners, critical thinkers, reflectors, self-learners.” The rhetorical situation is central to each of these communication opportunities, and whether students encounter the communication opportunities individually, with another person, in a small group, or in a large group, the rhetorical situation remains crucial. When students grasp the critical significance of the rhetorical situation and incorporate it in…
