Andersen, Erika. “Do You Really Need To Go To College?” Forbes, Forbes Magazine, 1 Nov. 2012, http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikaandersen/2012/08/06/do-you-really-need-to-go-to-college/#44cb120d2d49.

Erika Anderson discusses how people have thrived without college degrees. Anderson then starts to talk about her own experience, how there are times when the person without a college degree is more qualified than the person with a college degree. She ends with stating that college my not be the best way to learn for everyone

Anderson talks about a couple of stories about people not going to college and still being successful, she is appealing to emotions most the time. Shen never really talks about hard facts or anything like that.

This could be a good article.

Knerl, Linsey. “Can You Succeed Without College? Yes, But It’s Complicated.” Bachelor’s Degree Completion, 31 Oct. 2018, http://www.northeastern.edu/bachelors-completion/news/succeeding-without-college/.

Linsey Knerl argues the point that people with bachelor degrees are more successful. Knerl talks about how people with bachelor’s degrees make more money and are generally more employed. She then talks about possibly becoming the next Bill Gates or tech guru but shoots it down arguing that Steve Jobs is an exception.

Knerl’s argument is mostly based on logic. She talks about the facts of college graduates having a higher income and are more employed. She also talks about trying to become the next big thing without a college degree and basically says the big tech gurus got lucky.

Knerl’s argument could be good to use.

Stephens, Dale J. “Do You Really Have to Go to College?” The New York Times, The New York Times, 7 Mar. 2013, thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/07/do-you-really-have-to-go-to-college/.

Dale J. Stephens points out that traditional college is not the only way to learn. Stephens talks about how the internet provides the same level of education and is a fraction of the cost of traditional college. He also talks about students teaching themselves now.

Stephens argument is bases largely off of logic. He talks about how college now is basically useless because of the internet.

Stephens argument could be used for my paper

Is going to to college the only way to be successful in modern day?

Loyd’s Comment: looks good

write with research behind bc wo research, argument is weak

keep a research log to make work easier

make complete copies of sources, include page numbers and title pages

College

1. Value- Should college tuition reflect/match the industry pay?
2. Sports- Does sports help kids go to college or hinder them?
3. Going- Should students go to college or pursue alternative course of education like on the job training?
4. Degree- Is the degree truly needed for most jobs, or just the knowledge?
5. Tuition- Should all students pay the same base tuition, not in/out of state tuition?
6. Location/atmosphere- should students stay close to home or go far away?

The introduction of case outlines and rhetorical appeals changed the way I read “A Major Gain for College Sports” by I looked for different appeals in the article and how they where used. also i paid more attention to how the argument was set up.

“A Major Gain for College Sports” is about ways to reduce the negative views of college sports. Sally Jenkins, the author of the article, states ways to reduce to even eliminate the negative stigma around college sports by allowing students to major in sports. Jenkins brings in experts like Michael Oriard, a former Notre Dame and NFL football play to help make her point. She points out that student athletes strive to learn in their respective sports. Also, to be a student athlete requires the same amount of intellect as any other major. She also brings up the point that there is plenty of material to create a course. I believe Sally Jenkins claim of making sports a degree is convincing.

One of the first reasons Jenkins uses is a list of text books that could be used to create a course. Textbooks like “Sports Law: Cases and Materials,” “Combat Sports in the Ancient World,” and “Sports and Public Policy: Social, Political, and Economic Perspectives.” I did not really find this helpful to the case because it seemed to jump to one thing to another without much explanation.

Another reason Jenkins uses to show why sports should be a degree is because athletes like any other people strive to learn. I personally found this one convincing because as a student athlete myself I want to learn as much as i can myself.

With even more reason to make sports a degree is sports require just the same amount a intellect as any other major. Sports do require the same amount of intelligence, but it may not be the same type of intelligence.

The last reason I am going to talk about correlates with the fine arts. We as a society congratulates musicality majors even if they do not make it, telling them that them that they learned something to be proud of.

The form of appeal that Jenkins uses the most is reason. She shows reason through the question “Why is an Alabama football player or Tennessee women’s basketball player less worthy than a Yale drama student?” Another appeal she uses is emotion. She shows this through comparing drama students and student athletes and how the sports are considered tumors and drama is exalted.
