Over the last semester of my college career, I participated in an argumentation class. I hadn’t taken a class like this in my life, but I was happy to see how it would go, and looking back now at the end of the semester, I can see how this class will help me in my life going forward. First, the class really helped me see how to categorize my thoughts about issues that I’m passionate about and allow me to make sound arguments that can help back my positions. This helps me to be a more credible source and someone that can research various topics and categorize them into arguments that at the end of the day, are logical and make sense. Secondly, the class helped me meet new people and understand different viewpoints. To make an argument against a certain viewpoint, you must first understand the viewpoint you are arguing with. I believe this class has helped me understand that notion.
