Part: 1
I really like how we did instructor conferences with the opinion
editorial and the issues paper. Both of
them gave me enough time to make the corrections I needed too to write the best
paper I could. I especially like how the
issues paper was two weeks before because it really forced me to get working on
it early and forced me to get my first draft done early. By doing that I was able to have plenty of
time to take the advice I was given by Kelsey and also from the peer reviews
and write the best paper I could. It was
also really helpful because as the end of the semester comes up it gets really
busy in all of my classes so by already having most of my issues paper done it
takes a lot of stress off of me in this class.
I also really like the timing of the opinion editorial because although
it was a week later, it was also a lot shorter so it still worked out just as good
as the issues paper. However, I did not
like how the rhetorical analysis was just days before it was due. It was really hard to make the corrections I
needed to in the short amount of time before it was due. I just felt really
rushed and I don’t think I got as high of a grade as I could have.
Part: 2
This weekend for conference, I am really looking
forward to hearing from elder Jeffrey R. Holland. His rhetoric is very clear and precise. He just says what he means and doesn’t beat
around the bush. He also brings a lot of
power and emotion to his talks which I really like. I think he is also an English major or something
and that really stands out in his talks.
By being very clear and precise and by speaking with power and emotion
he is able to reach more of the audience and make the talks a lot easier to listen
too. I am also looking forward to
hearing from president Uchtdorf. I am
not really sure why but I just like hearing from him as well. Maybe it’s all the airplane analogies he uses
that really helps me understand the messages better, I don’t know. But by far, elder Holland and elder Uchtdorf
and my favorite speakers to listen to during general conference
