Everything is An Argument: December 2004
http://wellerw140h.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Monday, December 27, 2004. Everything is an Argument" is a classroom communication tool, hopefully to build a little spirit of community as well as to share our experiences, both those that go well and those that are frustrating, as we work towards a well researched argument to present to the entire class as a PowerPoint presentation and a position paper that will be turned in as a traditional research paper.

Everything is An Argument: April 2006
http://wellerw140h.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Friday, April 21, 2006. I’m in the process of re-working my Internet ENG W233 classes, which essentially teach the process of researching and writing an argument. In the past we’ve spent the whole semester on one paper, with many small benchmarks in between, and the course has been heavily WebCT based. After attending an IHETS workshop on blogs and wikis at the University of Indianapolis, the merits of a more flexible system easily in...

Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Friday, December 09, 2005. Changing Your Mind (Part II). In my last post I mentioned a student whose research project had surprised her, in that she came out in a different spot than where they started. And in an earlier posting I pointed out that the ability to view new facts and change your position or thinking to adjust to these facts is a sign of maturity, not a lack of resolve. Posted by Worth Weller @ 12:40 PM. I know that teach...

Everything is An Argument: February 2006

Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Saturday, February 25, 2006. Teaching with Technology: plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. But I do find it amusing that as the technology advances, it is enabling me to revert to more traditional classroom practices. Apparently, as the French like to say, Plus a change, plus se la mem chose. Or, as we say somewhat less elegantly on this side of the Atlantic, what goes ‘round comes ‘round. In any event, I’m looking forward to se...

Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Sorry I’ve been away from this project for a month, but the holidays as well as trying to re-gear for a new semester cut rather significantly into my otherwise free time. Not to mention the college bowls and now the NFL playoffs, coupled with some serious taste testing of some wonderful seasonal micro-brews from throughout the Midwest. Are easily detectible. Let’s quickly review:. Appeals to false authority.

Professional Writing Task Force. Friday, April 28, 2006. Air Midwest Case Study. Is the case study that Stuart sent around earlier, with a business writing curriculum project tied to it. I've developed a six week Internet course around this (in two tracks, one for the case study and a complemntary track for other traditional W232 issues). Click here. If you'd like to see details of the course. I'll let you all know after Summer 1 what the students thought of this approach. Participants in IPFW’s Professi...
