One Concept

There were a lot of different things that we have learned in class this semester. A lot of them I will remember, but I think that the most important thing that I have learned is about is marketing and advertising in chapter 10. This is an important chapter for me to remember because I am a business major, and when I graduate I am going to need to know these skills to be successful in life. It is very important to know how to market to the consumers. It does not matter how good a product is, if it is not marketed right it will not succeed. Even if a product is not good if it is marketed correctly the product would succeed. It is important to understand the audience. It is important to understand who you are selling the product to. It is important to research about your product and the area you are thinking about selling the product. Often times location is the most important thing. Even if your product is good if it in selling it in a location where no one is going to see it then it will not succeed. These are only the few things that I have learned in this chapter that I will always remember.

What I have learned

Throughout the semesters there have been many different topics that caught my attention. With this online class I learned that there are a lto of people out there that have experience the same things as I have. I learned this from all the comments that I received off my post. It feels comforting to know that there are other people out there that have been through the same thing as I have. I also learned a lot about the argument chapter. I found that that chapter was very interesting. I did not know all the different kinds of arguments such as inductive and deductive argument.  I also did not know about all the components that are in an inductive and deductive argument to make it effective. I also learned what not to do in an argument. Often times I just get mad when I am in an argument, but getting mad makes an argument a lot less effective. This is only one of the many thing that I have learned in this class.

Favorite and Least Favorite

There were a lot of things that I liked about this class. Even though it was an online class I feel like I got to know my classmates a lot through reading their posts and comments on my blog. I liked that a lot of the post we had to do were personal opinion post, so we got to see how other people are. I also liked that you replied to all of my emails very quickly. I was surprised by how fast you got back to me when I emailed you. Even though I did enjoy this class there were some things that I did not like. I did not like the group projects. I feel like individual projects are much more effective, because in a group project it is hard to find a time to meet and usually one person ends up with more work load than all of the other members. I feel like if there would have been more individual projects I would have got more out of the assignment.
