A class that has introduced a significant amount of helpful lifetime knowledge to me is my U of U Writing class. Lifetime knowledge in the form of skills to effectively and fluently express my ideas, and for someone looking into careers that require effective expression of ideas in the form of writing, presentations, or oral presentation, these are skills I'll be needing for a long time. Especially the skill I acquired from our project to make a 15 - 20 minute presentation about constructing and following through with an argument. This is extremely helpful in every sense of Civic, Social. and Personal contexts because, as the chapter stated, every position we take begs for an argument, and we must be ready to defend our point of view respectfully and effectively.
