The worst speeches of the year: Running for SA president while using rhetorical fallacies

Previously, Communication class spent some time studying rhetorical fallacies, or unfair arguments commonly made when someone is trying to persuade someone else. After learning to identify them, the students wrote speeches announcing their candidacy for SA president. The twist: they had to use as many logical fallacies as they could (and identify them) in making those arguments. Here's a peek at what went down in class.


If I may plug a class, honestly, not only for Freshmen or Sophomores—Communication is the most valuable class that I teach, and I truly wish that it was a requirement for every student in the school. Consider it for a class option next semester!
