Analyzing a particular product or personal object's rhetoric and how its genre effects me was definitely an aspect of life that I had never thought of. Purchasing coffee until this paper was without any second thought, and for the most part did not require any critical thinking. However, afterwords I find myself much more aware of the advertising rhetoric that surrounds even the plates and cups I use. I felt the assignment was very appropriate, and I learned a lot.
For the class, the structure of review for the paper was very good. Peer review as well as an individual conferencing session with the professor allowed for many different perspectives on what could be improved on and how the paper was coming along. Along with peers looking at content,(as with any English class), proper structure of the paper itself was critiqued to allow for maximum efficiency of message.
Most problematic areas for me so far are being concise, as well as my writing style not being remotely close to how I speak.
