Last week Question 1

Over the length of this course I have learned many things about myself and my time management abilities. When I first signed up for this class I was very nervous because I felt that I would not be able to handle the time and effort that you had to put into a online class in order to succeed, and when the class first started I was freaking out because I had no clue what to do. But over the length of the course I found ways to make it simple for me to finish my work in a timely manor and have time to study and do everything that I need for my personal life. I also learned how to work in groups better, this was one of my favorite aspects of the class because we got randomly selected to work with a group of people and  had to put together several projects. I enjoyed taking this class and I am happy I manned up and decided to take the extra 3 units of an online class:D

Last Week Question 2

There were many positives to this class and I personally feel not to many negatives. My favorite thing about this class by far would have to be how you can manage it around your own time. For me personally I work 25 hours a week, have 15 units and part of an on campus organization and it is very hard for me to make it to classes sometimes, and this class worked perfectly for me because I could do my work over the weekends/ at late nights. My least favorite thing about the class would have to be getting into it for the first couple of weeks, it was very confusing at first and I feel the process of introduction to the course could have been a little better planned out/ explained. But overall the class was fairly easy and I actually learned a lot, I feel the discussion post actually make us think rather than just having us repeat material that we had already read which makes it more entertaining to do.

Last Week Question 3

Over the course of the class I have learned a lot about critical thinking and other aspects of arguments. But I think what will stick the most is the idea of the argument forms. When I took a math class last semester we slightly went over the ideas of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens, and when that was brought up again in this class I think it will stick in my mind forever. Modus Ponens is an argument form which is stated as so, If p then q happens, p is happening therefore q. While modus Tollens is, if p implies q, and q is false then p must also be false. These argument forms help to sort out ideas that will happen. Such as if it is raining out side then I will go to the movie theater, it is raining, therefore I will go to the movie theater. ( Modus Ponens)
