Over the course of the semester I have learned how to facilitate better discussion through critical thinking concepts, as well as further developing my ability to present well structured arguments. The basis of my learning this semester in Comm 41 is based around the concept of interacting claims, and how certain types of claims can be built upon to construct the best argument possible - achieving the ultimate goal of critical thinking, convincing the opposing party to accept your argument as truth.
Perhaps the most important lesson I can take from this course is the application of critical thinking concepts to group work, knowing the proper way to communicate and convey ideas to others within a work setting is vital to functioning as an efficient worker. Through participation in group activities, particularly the filming of the third project involving group facilitation, I learned a great deal about not only participating in discussions but facilitating them as well. I believe that this skill is the most important thing I have learned all semester in Comm 41, as bringing about quality ideas from others is an incredibly useful ability in the corporate world.
