What Have I Learned?

What have I learned so far, if anything?

So far, I've learned a good amount about understanding argumentative writing and strategy. This includes analyzing warrants, avoiding flawed logic, choosing fair and precise language, planning and researching an argumentative paper, and how to write an argumentative paper through a certain structure. I've also learned many new terms to better analyze different argumentative papers. The list of these terms goes on and on including ad populum, ad hominem, fallacy, empirical evidence, slippery slope, etc. Understanding different terms along with a basic structure of argumentative papers as expressed in the textbook has helped me become a better writer in terms of arguing.

Which one of my three essays do I want to revise? Why?

Of my three essays, I'd like to revise "The Myth of the Stimulus." I took the word analysis too literally and instead of expressing my own argument strongly, I analyzed another writer's argumentative piece and its entirety. I can easily make my argument stronger for this essay because this is an area in which I am very knownledgable considering my major is economics. I'll be sure to simplify economic terms and expressions to help the reader understand my point without any misunderstanding or the need to research different terms.
