Psuedo-arguments are arguments based on opinion and have an unmeasureable quality. I have encountered many pseudo-arguments upon many people in the real world. However, the one pseudo-argument that I usually think about is looking over something that is going to be on the test/quiz about 5-10 minutes before class versus studying the night before or long before, which is better? What I believe is that although it is good to study nights before the test, it is also important to look over what you have already studied.
My argument is that when I look over something that I have already studied right before a test/quiz, it refreshes my memory. I am able to remember what I have studied even though it is within a short period of time before the actually test or quiz. I, being a person that can remember more off visuals than being TOLD something, am able to look over a study sheet and usually remember what it says word for word. Being a visual learner, allows me to look over notecards or something 5-10 minutes before a test/quiz and it benefit me more than not doing it at all.
The opponent would vote that only studying days before or the night before is more beneficial. Their opinion for this is usually that looking over something 5-10 minutes before is like trying to cram everything into your mind and not having enough space for the information that you just forget everything.
This argument really doesn't serve a purpose because people are going to do what they want to do and have their own methods of studying. This serves as an opinion based situation.

In your response to pseudo-argument, I feel that it wasn't as descriptive as it could've been. I also feel maybe you could've had a better example of a pseudo-argument for you response
Choosing the argument of study habits was a simple topic, whic I feel doesn't completely express what a pseudo-argument in, and study habits are usaully not argued, but rather are different from person to person, but it is a good connection with that study habits are opinionated and that is the basis of a pseudo-argument. Overall I believe you could've done a little more to describe why homework study habits is a pseudo-argument.
