Different Kinds of Evidence
- Primary sources focuses more on firsthand information and allows for individual opinion/facts to be expressed. Secondary sources express more of society or a big group's opinion.
- When one is using testimony to appeal to logos, pathos, or ethos one has the power to manipulate and exaggerate their story to appeal to the rhetorical strategy of their choice.
- This is helpful because it puts students who attend a similar institution in the same category and helps them relate with other students instead of isolating them.
- Anecdotal is reliable to an extent. you can talk about your story all you want but it will not be enough to persuade the audience. At one point you will need proof or another type of evidence to support your claim.
- Facts: samples, survey, and statistics can be taken from larger classes and smaller classes and juxtaposed to prove that larger classes decrease student engagement and satisfaction. Comparison/analogy: Students' performance in larger and smaller classes can be compared between the two. Anecdotal Evidence: A person can share a personal experience from when they attended both types of class sizes. Testimony: An interview with someone
Organizing a Proposal Argument
- Students do not require extra additional resources to ensure rhetorical brilliance but it is essential that they have a solid foundation in rhetoric in order to be successful.
