Cause and Effect Website
I enjoyed the cause and effect website because the examples and definitions really helped me to further understand the material. The example showing what a lawyer would do in court really made sence to me because it really shows you how to form a good argument. I liked when it talked about post hoc reasoning which means that just because A came before B doesn't mean that A caused B. A lot of time people conclude that because one thing happened before another it means that the first event caused the second. This was an exelent website because it really helped me to draw a picture in my head with the bicycle example and how in depth it got with it. Sometimes i wish the Epstien text book would put chapters into something this simple and understandable.

Dear Big Cat,
ReplyDeleteI liked your post about the cause and effect website because we had similar feelings about it. I definitely agree with you about the Epstein text needing to be more clear and simple. Everything that is posted on our professor's website as a reference to things that are in the book, I always better understand the links than the textbook. I also like that you appreciated the examples in the link as much as I did. I feel that I have a way more clear understanding on the subject of cause and effect because of this assignment. Nice job on this post! :)
