The concept of fallacies I think should be further discussed because there were so many different kinds and they were very confusing. When we had to take our test on fallacies I was completely confused even though I studied them so much. I liked when we had the website to further learn about reasoning by analogy. All the different types of fallacies were briefly described in the book, so it was hard to follow the assignments and the examples did not help my understandment. I know that fallacies are a main part of arguments because they make them weak or strong.
Yeah I agree with you. I think there was so many different types of fallacies that it got confusing. I kept confusing some of the terms with each other. The Mission Critical website made it a lot easier to figure out what the terms meant that I did not understand. I wish she would have told us about the Mission Critical website earlier in the semester because it was a great help and would have been an even bigger help if we had that resource for the three group projects. And your right fallacies are what make arguments weak or strong.
