I will go first:
I plan to go to the beach when the semester ends, but hopefully I'll have my Roxy beach cover up to wear since everyone else will be wearing them. (Bandwagon Fallacy)
Ok--your turn!

Take Home Exam! Holiday
Hello from the road fellow scholars and eaters of turkey or tofu! Hope you enjoy your day off and the exam is going well so far--try and finish before Thursday so you can enjoy and relax! San Diego is great! Go to the zoo here some time! Anyways, for this blog, post something fun you plan to do when the semester ends (eat, sleep, travel, hold my syllabus tightly and remember the good times...whatever) Then make an argument using an obvious fallacy to support your plans and identify the fallacy correctly (use your blue list)

I'm going to play football with my family, but my brother Steven won't do well, because he has bad acne. (Ad Hominem)
P.s. (Not to suck up, but uh...) You're pretty much in the Professor's Hall of Fame for that surprise last monday. =)

I am going to do what all Americans do and sit with family members in the living room eating turkey celebrating a routine Dallas Cowboys victory over those Green Bay Packers. (Hasty Generalization)
How Bout' Those Cowboys!-Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

When this semester ends I plan on sitting around all Christmas cozying up to the fire. Woo!!! But I agree, professor hall of fame, ma'am. You have to be the most awesome professor I've had since I've been at CRC.
Because Professor Wheeler is awesome all the teachers at CRC are awesome. (Ad Populum)... Also known as the Bandwagon Fallacy =D

When this semester ends I plan on working w/o any vacation since I am just like 90% of Americans who cannot afford to take time off of work due to the recession. (Hasty Generalization)

After the semester ends I plan to try to a chill pill of work and of course school. try to go on vacation since managers at work do not know how to relax and give employees a day off once inawhile.
(Hasty generalization)
But whatever I hope to do something fun! and also get my good grades back, :-D

after the semester ends, i hope to go snowboarding because everyone goes snowboarding in the winter!
(ad populum)
I just bought a brand new Juicy purse because that is what all my friends have. (ad populum)
Jenny Balding
My sister and I will go shopping, but she wont pick out anything nice because shes only 4'11 in height. (ad hominem)

I plan to go snowboarding in the Winter because the snow is as fun as Gillette Fusion HydraGel shaving cream.
False Analogy.
stan is a big goofball!
stan, thats not a false analogy. lets go to sierra yo. seriously, lol im going twice in december, and for sure jan 17. hit me up anyone, if ya wanna go. =)
During the holiday break, i plan on taking a vacation for a few days, because isn't that what you are supposed to do on vacations???(Hasty Generalization)
Megan Guerrero
Megan--that is not a hasty generalization, that would be more like:
I saw Megan on vacation over the break, so every argumentation student must go on vacation when this class ends.
Ta-dah!!!!
Oh, and Chris--that brother with acne one is actually very funny, but it is more of a non-sequitor....BTW everyone, our own Stan is starring in a soon to be released holiday film called "Quiet Debater, Deadly Boxer" coming soon to a theater near you...
