Reasonings

Towards the beginning of the semester, we talked about inductive and deductive reasoning. I know that we talked about that it for quite sometime, but I could use a little more discussion on this topic. I was able to differentiate inductive reasoning from the deductive reasoning. but never fully understood every aspect of it. I think that we should be able to learn how to discuss and explain it without referring to the text, but I still do not feel confident doing that regarding this subject matter. Maybe if a little more time was spent on it and a few more exercises aside from writing a post on it would have been a little more efficient in helping students like me who are a little confused about the topic to understand it a little better. Aside from this, every other topic of discussion was easy to grasp and apply to our daily lives.

  1. I also agree with you. Although I thought that we spent some time understanding and analyzing inductive and deductive arguments, I also thought that I could have learned it a bit more. Like you, I was sometimes unclear on how to determine these arguments. I always had to go back to the reading to figure it out. I think that maybe if I did a couple more examples of these types of arguments, I would have understood the concepts a little more. I also agree with you when you say that all the other topics were a lot simpler than the deductive and inductive arguments.
