   For this item, as if you did not have enough to cover this week, you should select one of the arguments to evaluate, keeping the following guidelines in mind as you write your evaluative paragraph:

Use the following questions as a guide for your evaluation, but feel free to choose 2-3 elements and focus on them.

 

1. What is the claim and what are the reasons for the claim?

2. Is the reasoning logical? Are there any logical fallacies?

3. Does each reason have enough support?

4. Does the student use sources ethically? Do the sources build up the ethos of the paper? Do the sources cross-reference (there is a Works Cited entry for each source mentioned in the paper, and, vice versa, all sources on the Works Cited page can be found in the paper).

5. Is it a classic/adversarial/traditional or Rogerian/consensual argument?

6. How does the student treat the opposing position?

7. Do you find conclusion satisfying?

8. Are you a friendly, hostile, skeptical or disinterested reader of this argument?

9. Are you convinced by the student's argumentation?

10. What do you find especially successful in the student's argumentation or approach?

11. What can be improved?

And, fortunately, this submission may be made as late as Sunday of this week.   So, there's that.

“Can Distance Education Close the Distance in Economic Need?” 

 

The student’s claim is that they believe that there should be improvements made to online courses and the only way to institute these changes is for those who benefit from these classes to express their concerns and provide suggestions. It isn’t only the students that benefit from this form of education but the faculty as well, so they should come together with the students to create reform to make online education better. The style of the essay appears to be Rogerian because the writer starts with all the benefits of online classes and refers to all the disadvantages, expressing both sides of the argument. The student provides a solution for the debate on online classes preparing them for future employment. I wasn’t as interested in the topic because it felt as though the audience the student was trying to reach was for those who questioned having online courses available in some universities. I am fully in support of online classes, so I believe the focus was on the skeptics of online schooling. The conclusion was a bit out of place and vague on the solution that would work to help close the divide on online schooling, but the student did reiterate the benefits.
