Subclaims¶

q2 i? Lucas expanded the OLR's Observation section into a tool for reflecting on readings and generalized his reading techniques to other classes, and Neelum generalized rhetorical concepts such as audience awareness into everyday persuasive interactions with friends and relatives. → Nelson 2001

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Participant-observer case analysis of two students. Lucas wrote in an observation that he was "trying to develop an efficient system to read and retain important information from academic books", and Neelum described choosing language and giving examples when arguing with people, applying audience-awareness rules from class.

"Learning from the OLR to be more reflective, Neelum came to generalize rhetorical concepts learned in class to her everyday interactions with friends and relatives (see Figure 3)."
