Quiz You Once, Shame on Me

The first quiz will be held at the beginning of class on Wednesday, September 29th. You will have about 25 minutes to take it.

There will be a multiple choice section, a section on evaluating deductive arguments, a section on evaluating inductive arguments, and a section where you provide examples of specific kinds of arguments. Basically, it will look like a mix of the homework and group work we've done in class so far.

The quiz is on what we have discussed in class from chapters 6, 8, and part of 7 of the textbook. Specifically, here's a lot of the stuff we've talked about in class so far that I expect you to know for the quiz:
  • definitions of: logic, reasoning, argument, structure, sound, valid, deductive, inductive
  • understanding arguments
  • evaluating arguments
  • deductive args (valid & sound)
  • inductive args (which we'll get to in class on Monday)
The quiz is worth 7.5% of your overall grade.
