Introduction
Writing class assignments requires scholars to learn and improve several skills, including closely reading many drafts, analyzing, comparing, and contrasting them. In this course, I used primary and secondary research materials to comprehend and write about topics our instructor gave in class. Coe et al. (269) indicate that for scholars to build influencing opinions, they must use both primary and secondary data in their writing. This course helped me to learn writing projects by researching many drafts; therefore, my essays moved from one opinion to the other. Furthermore, my writing built precise relationships between ideas in the sentences, influencing my audience. Students must know their audience and reasons for writing to enjoy life in school.
Using Key Rhetorical Concepts through Analyzing and Composing Various Texts
The orators' capability to influence listeners depends on how well they appeal to the audience. According to (Dollinger 2), logos, ethos, and pathos are the three major rhetorical concepts. In my essay "attention deficit disorder in college students," I used logos in reasoning and arguing my point by asserting that ADHD affects scholars as they have problems sustaining attention. In the article, I continue to state that "having a hard time focusing means diminished attention in class, and academic performance declines." This reasoning shows that I met the goal of using a critical rhetorical concept. In the same essay, I sensibly used ethos as I was empathetic towards college students with an attention deficit disorder as it is likely to worsen their academic performance. My empathy continues when I posit that at college, my interest might be to determine the kind of support to offer to ADHD scholars to improve their lives and performance at school. Furthermore, by using pathos in my work, I emotionally argue that ADHD may detrimentally distress college students as they might not have good academic support because attention is necessary for an individual's learning. Generally, I used the three critical rhetorical concepts in analyzing and composing the "attention deficit disorder in college students" text.
Locating and Evaluating Various Primary and Secondary Research Materials
Both primary and secondary research materials are essential for students to understand their topics in class clearly. The two sources complement one another to assist the scholars in building convincing arguments. Coe et al. assert that primary sources provide highly reliable evidence, while secondary sources indicate how researchers' studies related to existing research (269). In my "annotated bibliography" work, I located and evaluated both primary and secondary research materials to highlight how serious the problem of attention deficit disorder is among students. Firstly, I used "the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN)” as my primary source to describe how the scholars claimed about the college student's academic performance concerning their ADHD state. The material helped me understand how to manage and treat attention deficit disorder, hence lessening the disease's adverse consequences. Moreover, this source assisted me in knowing the...
