LI: to understand faulty reasoning.
This week we have been starting with faulty reasoning. There are 4 different types of faulty reasoning, Illogical / simplified Assumption, Circular Reasoning, Over-generalization, Biased Argument and Contradiction. Illogical / simplified Assumption is Providing evidence that does not directly support the claim (Hint: There are probably other influences / factors), Circular Reasoning is Supporting a claim with the same claim Hint: Look for synonyms!), Over-Generalization is Making a global statement when there are likely exceptions. (Hint: everybody, nobody, always), Biased Argument is Making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience and Contradiction is Providing evidence that goes against the original argument.
