Hello all,
My name is Daniel Ramseur, and I am currently employed in the United States Air Force and going on 17 years as an E-6 (TSgt). I work in the Munitions Systems Technology field in what we call in the USAF as the "Bomb Dump", or munitions depot as the other branches aptly name it. I am married to my wonderful wife Amanda for over six years and have a son and a daughter named Benjamin (who is six) and Caitlin (who is 10 months old). I seemingly have many hobbies, but the ones that I focus on are coin collecting, banknote collecting, metal detecting, and riding my Harley Electra Glide police model. Aside from having to take this mandatory course as one of many core classes, I am also looking forward to seeing the different view points on research methodology and proper analysis of writing techniques. I hope to gain more of a broadening insight of the inner workings of Transportation and Logistics Management that can be directly applied to the course objectives that will be discussed further on during this course (it will help further along during obtaining my Bachelors degree).
For this week's reading by Paul Lynch, I absolutely do believe that he makes his case on more than one occasion that I read and poses alternatives that are more "lively and challenging". He accomplished this by seemingly upending the usual "five paragraph essay with a topic and conclusion" that many, if not all of us taking this class are accustomed to since we started school. Seemingly, once a person becomes familiar with the effective structure of writing a simple 3-5 page paper (picking a topic, seeking three pieces of information and backing it up/affirming it with citations from scholarly individuals, and concluding it with a simple and yet logical wrap up) anyone can do it in their sleep. I absolutely believe that we can break away and seek other forms of relaying information on a personal level! Would I take his class? You betcha I would! It is imperative to think outside the humdrum classical composition since the 16th century. I would be interested to see his varying way of thinking to see how different styles of writing can help an individual write a more persuasive type of paper, or on the other hand, an argumentative type.
