Final Thoughts...

Overall this ILS 200 class was a great experience that really helped me to develop as a writer. It opened up the door for me to use many language tools that I was not aware were previously at my disposal. It also helped me break down my arguments to ensure that ethos, logos, and pathos were all aligned and balanced with one another. I learned many new pathetic, ethical, and logical tropes and schemes to use in my writing and fallacies to be aware of and try to avoid.

The best part of this class has been being able to have my voice heard and express my opinions in an informal setting with this blog. Things that I normally would want people to be aware of but had no real means of telling them have been easily communicated through this blog. I think I will definitely continue to read blogs, respond to blogs, and maybe even have my own blog page in the future because blogs are a great way to share your thoughts with others in an anonymous fashion that you really aren't held accountable for. In saying this, that doesn't mean that people should run around and blindly post nonsense in order to anger others or start an argument, but should keep their arguments as fair, accurate and balanced as they can to strike up a positive and constructive argument.

All in all, this class was very fun, interesting, and useful and I will definitely consider taking another ILS class in the future.
