Question List
Here is your list of final exam questions; you have to answer one question in a 1-2 page paper (formal and academic, not like a journal), but make sure you write a very complete answer for this one question:

1. As a teacher trying to help you understand the materials of this class, Greg must address the rhetorical situation of his class. What was this rhetorical situation and how did he address it? What do you feel were the pros and cons of having a "relaxed" classroom setting in English 104?
2. Describe the first week's class exercise, different personalities, etc. Did you think the exercise was effective? Why or why not? What did you feel was the most prominent lesson to be learned from this activity?
3. What do you feel the purpose of having all of the group discussions was? During the discussions, how and when did you form your personal opinions about certain topics? Had you thought about the issue before in your life or did you develop your opinion as it was being presented to you? Did the discussions impact your outlook on the given topics? Why or why not?
4. Of Aristotle's three appeals, which do you think is most important in rhetoric, and how was it used in the group discussions? How is rhetoric employed differently in class discussions than it was in your papers? Why are these types of arguments (oral and written) different?
5. Give some reasons why studying rhetoric is important and how it is applicable to various situations. How is rhetoric employed in every-day life? Most people in class have used rhetoric before English 104. Do you feel you better understand how you've used it now that you've studied it? Give an example of a past situation you looked back on and realized different rhetorical strategies you used.
6. Remember the discussion of the rhetorical situation as we took class outside, talking about the effects changing context had on audience and purpose. How does changing the audience, purpose, or context change the rhetorical situation?
7. Explain how Aristotle's three appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) relate to the three parts of the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, and context). Why are Aristotle's three appeals critical in a successful argument? How is a good argument formed? What makes a good argument? What does an argument need to be successful?
