This week in English class my professor brought up a small issue he observed in the decorum of the class. He mentioned things like eating in class, phone use, and side conversations. When he began this conversation it made me think of how I and some of my classmates might be failing in our rhetoric when it comes to class. Rhetoric is generally defined as the art of speaking and writing effectively. When I say effectively I mean to speak or write in a way that helps persuade people to believe the point you are trying to get across. I have realized that rhetoric plays a part in many things in my life and I think its time I start paying attention to the way I am portraying myself. In class I need to make sure that my rhetoric shows that I am serious about my education and make sure I remain giving my professor my undivided attention so that he sees how serious I am about the class.
