One concept I really liked learning about during the semester was learning about the appeal to emotion. I wish this section was a little bit longer than a paragraph like the book has it. I think I’m really interested in this topic because I’m a psyc minor and I watch a lot of Law and Order: SVU. (Great show by the way). I think it is really amazing how you can convince people of your stance by tapping into their emotions. I think this is the main reason why people are successful life. A lot of people are rich because I think basically, they know how to manipulate people whether it be buying shares in their stocks or being one of the investors in the company. It is just really amazing how you can sway one person’s emotions by saying something that they can relate to or touches them in a certain way.

What I’ve learned in this class over the semester is to not procrastinate. But I think that applies to all my classes. Probably my life too. (sigh). Although we were given an ample amount of time to do our posts on our blogs, I would always lost track of time because I always thought I had a lot of it. Next thing I knew, I was Friday night and I was stuck looking at the clock every minute so I could post in those 12 hour intervals. So, after this, hopefully I have learned my lesson to not procrastinate. I also learned how to work with a group better. I have always done my work on my own just because it was a lot easier because I did not have to depend on anyone else besides myself. I think working with a group taught me how to communicate better with people.

What I liked about this class the most was that it was online and it was on my own pace. I know I had due dates in this class but I felt like it was really more relaxed than other classes and less demanding. I liked how the blogs were very vague and weren’t so specific so it was fairly easy to write about anything.

What I didn’t like about the class was the group essays. Sometimes it was really difficult to meet with my group and I’m not used to working in groups because I usually do things on my own. It gives me a sort of paranoia because I’m always worried if something goes wrong with my group mates. It’s really hard to organize myself, yet alone four other people. 

I guess this could be improved by not having group work? Other than that, I don’t really have a problem with the class.
