Question #2
#2) I thought the Mission Critical website was helpful because it is a good resource that lists all the concepts we have covered so far in this class. I have already used it a couple of times to look up some terms that I wasn’t really sure about from the reading. It’s good to use for reference since everything is indexed so you can find what you’re looking for really quickly. I think it is good how it breaks down each link into subtopics so you can see what is there before you click on it, so you’re not just clicking through pages and pages trying to find what you’re looking for. I think it will really help me out a lot with the writing for the rest of the class, as well as help me with studying for the final exam. I also liked the links to some of the other readings for critical thinking. I had read the story by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Purloined Letter,” before for English class but I never thought about it from a critical thinking perspective before now.

I completely agree with you! I think that this website is an excellent resource that we can use for the rest of our lives. It goes over just about everything we have done in this class, and it does so in a clear and concise way. I now feel comfortable selling my textbooks back knowing that I have this site to refer back to in case I am confused. It was great to read that you have already used this site for concepts you were unclear about, and I will be sure to use it for midterms. I like what you said about looking at things from a communication perspective, especially things you have experienced before. In a way you experienced the story you read in a whole new way, and that can be exciting.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you. This website was very useful to me as well and I liked the way it was laid out. The website helped me gain a new knowledge of some older concepts we have learned which is great because finals are right around the corner. Although I found this site a little overwhelming at first in the end I really liked using it for a learning tool. The examples were also very helpful too I found it easier to understand valid arguments through the websites examples. I’m glad you found this site as useful as I did and it seems like most the class would agree.
