Mission Critical Website

I found the Mission Critical Website extremely useful! I really enjoyed reading all of the different information on parts of an argument, basic relations, and the analysis of arguments. Each part provided great tools to utilize when it comes to arguments. It was also great review on inductive and deductive reasoning. The exercises helped me understand the topics more clearly as well. In the past, fallacies have been difficult to understand, but it was a great review on all of the different appeals. There are misdirected appeals and emotional appeals as well. In a misdirected appeal it is misapplied by being used to support an unrelated claim. But, an emotional appeal is never a legitimate strategy in an argument. I also liked learning about identifiers. Identifiers are the function played in an argument. They are usually word or phrases and can either be premise identifiers or conclusion identifiers. The purpose of an argument is always to communicate the idea clearly and precisely. All of the information I read and the exercises for critical thinking.
