Throughout the duration of this course we
have learned about many different concepts. If I had to chose five of the most
important I would chose: exigence, circulation, mobility, revision and
collaboration. All five of these concepts played a major role in this course.
Exigence is something that we have
discussed numerous times throughout the semester and is one of the main
components of rhetoric. We have had to pick an issue and reflect how different
forms of media can affect certain texts.
Circulation has also played a part in
this course. We have learned how a text can get across to different people.
Circulating through the internet and social media such as facebook or through
placing stickers around campus we have learned different ways to get our message
across.
Mobility has also changed the way texts
and writing are spread. With technology constantly evolving, products are
becoming more mobile and people are able to take their work with them anywhere
they go. This is key to expanding their thoughts and work.
Revision is something we constantly did
in this class and is of importance. With out turning in drafts we wouldn’t have
been able to properly conduct assignments and it also allows for peer review
and growth which I believe is important.
Lastly, almost every class we have done
some sort of group work, which is why I believe collaboration is an important
concept of this class. Collaborating with other writers is something that is
becoming more and more common especially with technology like Google docs were
multiple people are allowed to make changes to a document. This allows for more
interaction and mobility.
All five of these concepts played a huge
role in the development of this course and writing in all forms.
