I learned a lot about writing while in this class. I learned that it is very important to address a specific audience that you are writing to. Also before this class i did not know how different argument papers were from other papers i have done. I did not know anything about a counter argument let alone a refute. I also learned that is important to lay out what you are going to say in the intro and then do what you say in the body paragraphs. Also good transition sentences to each paragraph are essential.
