1) This course has been extremely helpful and has enhanced my critical thinking skills in many ways. The most important thing that I learned throughout this semester was how to dissect an argument and determine whether or not the argument is strong or valid. It is important to know whether or not the reader is convinced of the subject and what makes a claim. I learned that a claim is a declaritive sentence used in such a way that it is either true or false (but not both). Claims are very important because it is either someone trying to convince you, you trying to convince someone else, or you trying to convince your own self. I also learned about arguments and the different types of arguments as well. The conclusion should always follow the premise in order to have a strong or valid argument. I also learned about the criteria for accepting and rejecting claims as well from personal experience and other sources. Overall, I learned a lot of useful information that I can use in the future and in my everyday life!
