If I ever had to answer what learning objectives in this class would ever be helpful in my future career and my life as a whole, it would probably be either the stylistic information presentation objective. That last thing sounds very robotic, so I'll just sum them up as knowledge of style. I feel that any kind of style applies to any sort of work. You need an effective writing style to carry your literary structure, you need an effective teaching style to carry the structures of your class, and you need to at least have a tighter composition style when it comes to writing for any style that you need to write down. Research papers, blog posts like this one, informal presentations, formal presentations, and so on; It doesn't matter what format those are in as long as you have a nice style to wrap things up and tie them in a bow. I'm already showing an odd style by using a hyperbole in that last sentence, so that just goes to show anyone how effective a writing style can grab people's attention and keep your college students from thinking about lunch and naked versions of their opposite sex (I must be equal opportunity).
Stylistic presentation is essential to me because it keeps a speaker or writer from rambling on and on and on and on and on and on and on until eternity. If you keep rambling, you don't hook and reel your audience in, and then barely anyone ends up listening to or reading you. Stylistic presentation, if done right, helps you collaborate with other people and gives your argument a better focus than it originally did when you were just rambling on and on. That sort of presentation also helps you experiment a bit and see what you're doing well and what you're doing wrong. Style in any type of field, especially collaboration with others, helps you appeal to the logos, ethos, and pathos of your audience, resulting in a more effective presentation of any form under the sun without sounding too rambly or too mechanical. Stylistic presentation is essential to any teacher or creative writer because you need to appeal in some way to an audience. It doesn't matter which audience, as long as your stylistic presentation gains any audience's undivided attention. By learning stylistic presentation under formal or informal procedures, I've gained a better understanding on how style affects my research papers and my weird scribblings of fiction in general. This class that I've been taking for about three months now has sort of showed me that every essay, PowerPoint presentation, or podcast has this solid structure to it that knowledge of style can mold into a more understandable procedure with a better appeal. Stylistic presentation, overall, is awareness of how to appeal or to collaborate with an audience in general while knowing exactly when to begin and when to end your argument. If there's a better learning objective to this class that appeals to creative and critical writing, then I'm pretty sure someone will comment about it.
