The first major course assignment was very useful because it involved many of the things that we has studied in the first few chapters of our book. Our first paper made us focus on the major claims that were either stated or unstated, the premises and claims that supported the main claim, the evidence that was used and what type of evidence it was, the effectiveness of the argument, and lastly it made us judge if the overall argument was valid and strong. These aspects of the paper were all things that had been discussed in our homework for the few chapters that we studied prior to this assignment. In doing this paper I had to re-read the descriptions of these things many times and had to actually identify them in a real life situation. throughout the continuous re-reading and critical thinking of these concepts I became very familiar with them and I became much more confident in knowing what they mean and how to identify them in my everyday life.
