Help Needed..

I wish we went over cause and effect more. I kinda understand it and I kinda don't. There was a question in the midterm that asked "which one of these 5 deal with cause and effect?" I got very confused because they all pretty much dealt with cause and effect, well to me at least. They were all kinda vague on how the cause and effect happens so I really got confused to which answer is cause and effect because all the answers seem to be the right one.

The Cause and Effect section was just really irritating to me because it was confusing which situation is caused and effect. I think there has to be a different way of teaching this section rather then following whatever the book "Critical Thinking" describes and teaches it. Like a video describing it with live actions. That can help and also be very entertaining at the same time.

Well this is my last blog so I want to wish everyone good luck in the final. I have another blog that I post almost daily on so if you want to see what shenanigans I'm up to visit http://hellaiv-wally.blogspot.com and comment me! Also there's a video I'm making that me and Ro Ro made under a day so check out my blog for that also. Good luck everyone!!!

Almost Done.....

We'll it's almost the end of the class and I, seriously, learned a lot by taking this online class. This class has helped me learned new ways of arguing and thinking critical about certain situations I have came across through. It's like I put more thought into what I am talking, listening, or reading about. I'm always making sure that the premise supports the claim that is being stated, such that the claim makes any sense to me what so ever.

This class didn't just help me for academic reasons, but for also casual discussion's through-out my life. I would be hanging out with a bunch of my friends and then I would analyze what they are talking about. If their premise doesn't support their claim, then I would argue back and literally be like "dude wtf?"

I'm actually really glad I took this class, it was very interactive with the blogs and meeting up with group members you never met before, kinda like MTV's "The Real World". Thanks Professor Perez, I HELLA enjoyed this class.

I thought you guys would enjoy this so I put only the beginning of my Facilitation Project

You Gotta BELIEVE!!!!

Same as being vague, generalizations sometimes are a pet peeve to me. It's usually the fact that you are not being clear on what you are trying to explain. The book Critical Thinking by Carolyn Kernberger has a chapter on generalizations. The section of the chapter that caught my eye was Section 4. The Margin of error and Confidence Level. Off the bat, the first sentence explains how "It's never reasonable to believe exact statistical generalizations." It also gives an example on how town survey's are made, such that if a survey says 37% of the people in the town surveyed yes to wearing glasses, you can't be sure or confident enough that exactly 37% of the town wears glasses. There are some people that are asked to volunteer for survey's but some people, like me, just don't talk and walk away to them. So you can't be sure or correct among a survey like that. There could be a margin of error that we don't know of. This is important to understand because you should not ALWAYS believe what anyone tells you.

This is me being cocky and enjoying my car lol.
