Document Summary

Look for a conclusion: look for a premise that supports it. Two crucial points about premise/conclusion: indicator words may not be present in arguments, in arguments, premises do not always come before, conclusions don"t always come after premises conclusions. Premise or the conclusion may be true or false. Evaluating the truth-value of premises and conclusions is distinct from evaluating the rational strength of arguments. Example: ryerson university is in guelph, on, rac is located within ryerson university, therefore, rac is located in guelph, on. Only one premise or conclusion per line. Excludes logically irrelevant material: allows us to make assumptions explicitly. It provides a clear reconstruction of the argument and that it"s essentials to properly evaluate the argument. Textual order: the way an argument is presented when someone speaks or writes. Logical order: an argument in which the premise come before conclusion. Standard form makes it easier to see the arguments. It takes away information that isn"t relevant at all.
