The disorganization of ideas and key features substantially affected the quality of my writing. At the beginning of the course, we were given chances to exercise the idea of argumentation and finding a solution through our own input.

Later on, we put our argumentation skills to the test and constructed essays revolving around credible sources and a presentation of an educated stance supported by these sources. Early practice of argumentation through assigned discussion questions was the pinnacle of change …show more content…

Organization for this essay required thoughtfulness of an advanced issue and your stance on the issue. The further organization required a set of sources that would allow your opposition to speak for itself. As for the self-created stance, we had to find sources that supported our claim and in essence, create an educated rebuttal to the forstanding issue. This assignment did not require as much preparation and organization as the yet to come essays, but it was a good start to my preverbal

The patterns of organization that are most frequently used by writers are chronological order, spatial order, emphatic order, and causal order. The chronological order means to move through time, spatial order is moving from outside to inside, emphatic order is from least to most significant, and causal order is the effects to causes. These patterns may seem like they’re formals but they are not. They have become discourse conventions because they correlate with the natural thinking processes and they are versatile.

The first section of your syllabus entitled “What We’re Doing in This Course, and Why” intrigued me. Specifically, due to its mention of the concept of rhetorical thinking being used to figure out what to say and how to say it. To me, this section encompasses all disciplines who tend to use different words to describe how you present an argument both in a correct and incorrect manner (framing, bias, logical fallacies ect.). I’m interested to see how different disciplines utilize this skill from simply being as bland and logical as possible such as in a scientific paper, or to making an effort to persuade an audience in a speech such as in a debate.

I took the time to write out an outline for this essay to help manage the chaos that is my writing, unlike my other essays for the course. As I said before, I have learned to question the structure of my paragraphs. For example: when I was revising the Composing Process essay, I noticed that a set of paragraphs could be rearranged and partially rewritten to improve the structure and make the essay flow better. However, I would argue that my Justification video assignment demonstrates my assertion better than my revised essays. From the beginning, I laid out a clear path that my Justification video needed to follow.

Before we could dive right in and just start writing our papers, we had to go through and make our own notes over what an argumentation paper is and the steps on how you create a successful argumentative paper.
