Week 2/24: video responses part 1

Patricia – I’m not sure that I agree that by omitting the methods and results sections of scientific articles in mass communications the structure of the classical argument arrangement is broken and effectiveness is lost. I think the public just isn’t informed enough to understand….
Maryn – The presentation felt disjointed between what she was saying and what was on the screen. I still don't fully grasp what a terministic screen is and will need to google term to grasp a better understand. 

Joy - Agree that words and images in harmony are more effective. I feel like I learned the most from this presentation – visual rhetoric is very interesting and totally new to me. It was interesting to think about how figures of speech work as visuals. I walked away acknowledging that images are much more succinct that words but rely on the reader to know many things in order to properly understand the message and meaning.

Zretta – Why do we ask questions that we know the answer to? Social interaction to build relationships? According to Socrates questions generate knowledge. Socrates questions and Blooms taxonomy are complimentary.  Instructors should use higher order questions to promote student learning.

Michelle – commonplace = assumption agreed upon by a particular group. Topoi – places to look for arguments. Interesting examples of songs about money.


Mark – love the visuals and juxtaposition. Idea of audience as a group vs. individual, the delivery as written vs. music, the synchronous vs. asynchronous
