Think critically about your personal communication style and its effectiveness in an academic setting.

If you cannot think of an example from your own life, you may analyze the persuasive student paper, Flag Burning, from the Ashford Writing Center instead. You must identify claims, evidence, counterarguments, and rebuttals present in the student paper.

Be sure to include any questions or confusion you have regarding rhetoric, argument, and the Classic/Rogerian styles.
