1) Critical thinking is extremely important because it is evaluating whether we should be convinced that some claim is true or some argument is good, as well as formulating good arguments. My favorite thing about this class was being able to learn about all of the different types of material when it comes to critical thinking. There are many ways to prove a certain argument, but there are also many ways that an argument can fail. I enjoyed learning about anologies as well. Reasoning by analogy taught me to compare one side of the conclusion. My least favorite thing about the class were all of the tests. The homework was easy to complete and understand, but the tests were extremely hard and I did not always do too great on them. They had a lot of trick questions and the examples were difficult as well. Even though it was open note and open book, I feel that the tests could be a little easier in order to improve the class.
