What I learned from CARD

             I was super stoked to have taken this class! I learned so much throughout my time in the hot, yet memorable Goldspohn classroom. We did a total of 3 major projects in this class, and they all taught me something different individually which I thought was super cool. The microtheme taught me that every word on a paper is valuable, as you had to fit all your ideas into a 1 page paper. Filler words just will not cut it, every word mattered, and that opened my eyes more and more, and now whenever I write papers, I always do a couple glances to avoid filler words.

            The Documentary Project was super unique and very fun. It taught me how to watch and analyze a film through class concepts, and ethos, pathos and logos. I never really used ethos, pathos, or logos for a while, so using them again was super unique and fun. These will for sure help me write better papers in the future, because they all 3 give such different tone and meaning. Ethos, is credibility, logos is logic, and of course, my personal favorite, pathos which conveys the amount of passion you have towards the subject. Furthermore, the Rational Argument paper had to be my favorite project we did. I love arguments and trying to prove my point, so this was the perfect paper for me. It allowed me to use as much pathos as I would like as well which I really enjoyed.

            To draw a close to CARD 101, I would like to thank my teacher for making my experience unforgettable, and would like to thank my classmates for all the valuable feedback and fun they contributed to the class throughout the semester. I don't think I will ever forget this class, as was the first ever classroom I went into for my collegiate career, only making the memories more important to me. CARD taught me various different ways to write a paper using various different persuasive and logical standpoints, and has for sure taught me to write better in any class I choose in the future. As a journalist major, I do a lot of sports writing for articles, and I couldn't have asked for a better start than this when it comes to learning writing styles in college

The Greatest Rebuild Of All Time Is Happening Right In Front Of Our Eyes

Image
                The Oklahoma City Thunder currently stand at 14-7, 2nd place in the Western Conference, with a point differential of (+7.2). This just so happens to also be the 3rd best point differential in the NBA, only behind the Celtics and Timberwolves. So what is it about this Thunder rebuild that makes it remarkable? Well, for that, we have to travel all the way back to the summer of 2019. The No. 6 seeded Oklahoma City Thunder were set to match off against the No. 3 seeded Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Quarterfinals in a series that was highly anticipated. The Thunder were still led by their long-tentured all star, Russell Westbrook, and also had an MVP finalist, as well as a D-POY finalist in Paul George on his side. The Thunder were locked and loaded with aspirations of a title in the rear view mirror, and the first team in their way was Portland. Going down 2-0 in the first two games in Portland wasn't ideal for ...

FEELS about my Rational Argument

Image
 There are countless amounts of problems in today's world that I would be more than happy to debate with someone. However, in the case of the Rational Argument, I could only come down to one choice, and I ultimately chose to argue about the risks of screen time usage. I specifically chose to debate about the screen time usage in the younger generation, and how it correlates to higher cognitive problems in the future, as well as obesity problems, and mental health issues as well. In the post-COVID era, almost everything has transitioned online, whether it's ordering food, shopping, or just chatting. Either way, the post-COVID era has encouraged the younger generation to use their phones, computers, and gaming devices more than ever.               The issue at hand here isn't to do with the fact that these people are using the internet, it's the fact that it is becoming an addiction and a daily habit. While we were in the COVID state, everyone ...

My expectations for CARD*101*8

Image
                I am extremely thrilled to be a part of this particular CARD class! There are so many nice people and I can't wait to learn so many exciting things with this group. I absolutely love writing about sports and the modern world, so I am excited to see how this class can help shape me into a better writer grammatically, as well as through critical thinking, and knowledge-making.               My expectations for this class include becoming a better and more interesting writer by fixing up grammatical mistakes, and by also using more interesting words. I hope to obviously pass this class having learned so much, and I will plan to do this by studying to the best of my abilities, taking a ton of notes, as well as reviewing those notes, and also by being very attentive in classes. I look forward to learning so much and can't wait for the real classes to start!      ...
