What I learned…..
Through out this summer, this class has been overall, very interesting. It has made me observe and look at things around me a bit differently. I no longer take things at face value. When I am looking at an advertisement, commercial, debate, argument, or just a regular conversation I now try to decipher and analyze it with all the techniques taught to me within this summer course. How to depict a fallacy or a misleading with numbers and graphs are a few examples of what I have learned through this class. Another thing that this class made me realized is the importance of communication and cooperation within a team; whether in person or virtually, a cohesive team, makes it much easier to get things done. There many challenges that I did not realize that go with working with a team within a virtual sense, and how easy it is. We ran into difficulties with scheduling a free time for our teams to meet, but once we got over that hump, knowing that we can meet with each other online, makes it a bit easier for us to meet online and talking about our projects. This was a bit easier than trying to get everyone to meet in person.

I do the same thing as you do when I look at advertisements or when I read or hear arguments. I think what I have learned this summer from this class it to really think about what I hear or read. I agree with you that working with a cohesive team does make thing so much easier to get things done. Meeting online for the first assignment was easy for all of my group members to meet however for the second assignment for assigned group did have problems with meeting and we weren't able to find a time where we were all able to meet so I think both meeting online and in person can be somewhat difficult at times.
