Red Herring<BR/>10. Slippery Slope<BR/>11. Special Pleading<BR/>12. Straw Man<BR/>and<BR/>13. Two Wrongs Make a Right<BR/><BR/>Just making sure... I know there was a lot of confusion in class. Please let me know if my assumption is correct.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, on a personal note, since this seems to be the best way for me to contact you outside of your office hours, you commented in the notes for our (Gem Lewis, Gary Greenfield and Chuck Richardson) Learning Contract that our time to meet was not concrete enough because we set a tentative date should we NEED to meet that week.<BR/><BR/>When I (Gem) spoke with you before we drafted our Learning Contract, you said that it was up to us to decide whether we needed to set a concrete date to meet weekly, or if we could just keep in contact via email primarily, and we chose the latter.<BR/><BR/>Please let me know what we should do, and hopefully we can speak about this after class on Wednesday, or continue our contact on the blog.<BR/><BR/>I apologize for having not had the time to speak with you during your office hours, but I have a very hectic schedule during the week, and I do not want to slow down the process within our group because of that.<BR/><BR/>I am personally not used to having to constantly work in groups in for a class, and don't want the other students in my group to feel as though we cannot get our work done because of my schedule, and I do not want my group members to feel responsible for me, and vice versa. With our Learning Contract, we outlined this problem and were hoping that this would be the best way to handle that.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your work on the blog to keep in contact with the students. It has already been a great help.<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/>Gem Lewis<BR/>Galewis0001@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
