Quiz You Once, Shame on Me

(Looking for the homework assignment? Click here!)

The first quiz will be held at the beginning of class on Monday, October 12th. 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 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 7 of the textbook. Specifically, here's what will be covered on the quiz:
  • definitions of: logic, reasoning, argument, structure, sound, valid, deductive, inductive
  • understanding arguments
  • evaluating arguments
  • deductive args (valid & sound)
  • inductive args
The quiz is worth 7.5% of your overall grade. Feel free to insult me in the comments for putting you through the terrible ordeal of taking a quiz.
