Communicating with Others was an interesting topic because it demonstrated that communication can be interrupted even if you say what you want to say but if there is a distracting noise of some sort the message can become distorted or missed. I learned how to effectively communicate with others.
I can understand the claim and look over specific details and keep reading them until I can argue for or against the claim or both and put my personal feelings aside.
Things to remember when trying to identify a claim.
Critical Thinking is so vital I was amazed to learn that it starts after 21. I think back when I was 21 and I thought I was using my critical thinking skills but in actuality I was not. I can say that at 25. In addition we learned about our Instrumental and Terminal values.
Reordering these values was an interesting assignment too, because you had to put things in perspective. This was all about you and who you are, so I learned a lot about me during this exercise.
These set of values were really a look at your personal views as well as the way you view the world.
I learned a few interesting things in this class, I am a better debater due to the discussions and arguments we have had to debate. One of the most resourceful tools I have received from this class is the ability to communicate effectively and use my critical thinking skills at all times.
Thank you Instructor Marteney. Your class is great!
