Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Friday, April 21, 2006. I’m in the process of re-working my Internet ENG W233 classes, which essentially teach the process of researching and writing an argument. In the past we’ve spent the whole semester on one paper, with many small benchmarks in between, and the course has been heavily WebCT based. After attending an IHETS workshop on blogs and wikis at the University of Indianapolis, the merits of a more flexible system easily in...

Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Friday, December 09, 2005. Changing Your Mind (Part II). In my last post I mentioned a student whose research project had surprised her, in that she came out in a different spot than where they started.

Everything is An Argument. Musings About Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age. Saturday, February 25, 2006. Teaching with Technology: plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. But I do find it amusing that as the technology advances, it is enabling me to revert to more traditional classroom practices. Apparently, as the French like to say, Plus a change, plus se la mem chose. Or, as we say somewhat less elegantly on this side of the Atlantic, what goes ‘round comes ‘round. In any event, I’m looking forward to se...
