7. My feelings about the end of the semester. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

5. I really liked the media blackout coursework assignment because it was really eye-opening and different.
6. I disliked the coursework assignment right before Thanksgiving break because I thought it was too last minute and unnecessary. #flamm101

4. My least favorite reading this semester was "A Family that Built an Empire of Pain". This was an interesting topic but was too lengthy and a little confusing. #flamm101

3. I really enjoyed the reading about the Harvey Weinstein scandal when we wrote rhetorical analysis essays because it was a very engaging topic that I actually enjoyed writing about. #flamm101

2. A good writing habit I have developed this semester was writing openings for papers. Before this class I did not realize the importance of establishing exigence for my audience and utilizing this connection has better shaped the beginning off my papers. #flamm101

1. A bad writing habit I have tried to break is being too wordy with my sentences. This semester I've really tried to deliver my ideas in a more concise structure. #flamm101

After: Streaming platforms give people access to music from a wide range of genres, artists, and playlists. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

Before: With the advancements of technology, these platforms allow society to have access to almost all music ever created at their fingertips, drastically changing the way people listen to music. #flamm101

@thomase18596129 I agree, Browning establishes exigence immediately by telling a personal anecdote to make her readers sympathize and care about her topic.

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

"Sharing her (Browning's) own story really reaches her audience on a more personal level and brings exigence to her topic." This is something I could improve on in my own writing by really trying to connect with my readers to keep them engaged. #flamm101

@Angela55024180 I really like the topic of your thesis, but maybe try using the magic thesis sentence to help structure your claim.

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

Potential counterargument: Streaming music increases the exposure of new and old songs. Therefore, although they are losing revenue, artists are able to reach much greater audiences than ever before and increase their popularity. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

Working thesis: By looking at the effects of streaming music we can see that listeners, artists, and the industry are all being impacted differently, which is crucial to our understanding of the modernization of music. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

Memorable reading: NPR article "The Success Of Streaming Has Been Great For Some, But Is There A Better Way?" This article used a lot of statistics and data to prove its claim adding significance and value for a reader which kept my attention engaged while reading. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

Sentence in my paragraph on 11/1 coursework: One by one more people were transferring over to using streaming platforms instead of buying individual songs, not yet knowing how this would impact the music industry as a whole. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

@benlofro Maybe try targeting how society would transition to using autonomous vehicles and if the switch would be involuntary or gradual.

2. Carlin's audience is perfect for his comedic and easy going approach to the topic. On the other hand Klein's academic approach with substantial research is more appropriate for her presentation at the TED event. #flamm101

[Julia Arthurs @juliaumd1]

1. Carlin uses several past natural disasters to support his claim, however they are not explained in depth. Klein references real detailed examples such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as her logos which is more credible evidence for her academic audience. #flamm101
