After my midterm conference it did really help me to see where i stood in this class. I think I have done pretty well so far. I have accomplished learning how to use rhetoric and how to write papers using some of the rhetoric appeals. Rhetoric seems to be a popular topic in my other classes so it was helpful to have already learned what rhetoric is and what the three rhetoric appeals are. Also I have accomplished writing my first college paper along with a few others and I did pretty well on them. I think I still need to learn how to organize my papers a little better. Along with working on my organization, I need to figure out how to cut my papers down, length wise. So I need to work on figuring out what details are important and what details aren't and how to identify that about the topic I am writing about.
