Assignment - Inductive and Deductive Reasoning Discussion
Description - Read through the essay "Finding the Good Argument OR Why Bother with Logic?" and "The Guiding Idea and Argumentative Thesis Statement" from the Cameron University Composition Reader Then, go answer the comprehension.
These are questions which you must answer:
1. In "Finding the Good Argument," there is a list of 10 rules that are often violated when trying to build an argument (similar to rhetorical fallacies that we looked at before). Of those 10 rules, which one do you think is the WORST rule violation and which one is the LEAST awful rule violation? Explain your reasoning.
2. Explain the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning as presented in "Finding the Good Argument OR Why Bother with Logic?"
3. Explain the difference between a guiding idea thesis and an argumentative thesis based upon the "The Guiding Idea and Argumentative Thesis Statement" chapter.
4. Since we will be using the Argumentative Thesis in our upcoming paper, what was the biggest takeaway or thing to remember from the section of the "The Guiding Idea and Argumentative Thesis Statement" chapter? Explain your reasoning.
