LLA class Tuesday 4/23

First of all, I am very sorry for being late to class… One thing I learned is that I need to check my emails more often.  The LLA class on Tuesday will definitely be firmly implanted in my brain for a long time because instead of being a one-way lesson (from teacher to student), we actively participated when we were told to sit (or stand at the back of the room in my case) according to the amount of money we had stored in our wallets.  Before, when Rab asked whether we thought paying to go to university was justified or not, I raised my hand without hesitation. A minute later I was standing in the back of the room, thinking what had seemed logical to me a moment ago was not so in the least.  So when forming an opinion, I concluded that it is important not to hastily jump for the side that appears to be more rational, but create some hypothetical situations in order to consider what your opinion truly indicates. However, I was so intrigued by this student participation that I actually forgot how this links to the lecture… At the end of the presentation, Rab lectured about the method of presenting the evidence: to recreate the experience in writing to make readers feel what you want them to feel. I thought this is relatively challenging as not only do writers have to include convincing arguments and reliable evidence, but they also have to make it intriguing. Achieving the harmony of these two as in the LLA lecture does not seem like an easy task. .
