Document Summary
Chapter 1: what is critical thinking: critical thinking: thinking deeper than the surface, not believing everything you see/hear (ex: best selling diet/advice/investment book; while believable could be a complete sham) Chapter 2: claims: the major conclusion of an authors piece of writing, sometimes easy to locate (explicit ex: i believe comm 210 is a useless (cid:272)lass (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause . ) sometimes harder to locate (implicit e(cid:454): . E(cid:454): (cid:862)comm (cid:1006)(cid:1005)(cid:1004) is useless(cid:863) rest of te(cid:454)t (cid:449)ill gi(cid:448)e stats, opinions, etc. about why this class is useless. Uncontestable claims: are facts, you cannot argue against, ex: there is a lot of traffic on decarie in the mornings. Comm 210 is required to graduate from jmsb. 2+3=5: note: the claim will most likely never be uncontestable on the exam. Uncontestable claims are only 100% fact stupid almost. Contestable claims: anything that can be argued against, ex: john is smarter than mary.
