I won't say that this is a so-called no-brainer, but. . . Reflect on the course, and have at it: 

As we wrap up the semester and reflect on what we've learned, please choose one of the following topics for your discussion response.

• The Argument Hall of Shame: Considering what we've learned this semester about the construction of effective arguments and the pitfalls of logical fallacies, can you share the worst arguments you've seen in modern media? What makes the argument so ludicrous?
• The inspiration: Throughout the semester, we've looked at the power of words to inform and to persuade. Is there an example of rhetoric that inspires you? This can be either a text or an image. What about the argumentative technique moved you?
• The bumper sticker: Often our best views of effective argument can also be the most succinct. Choose a bumper sticker that makes an effective argument; how does it accomplish this?

Due: Wednesday, Week 7

Length: Your response should be no longer than 300 words.
