As You Practice - Week #02

YOU'RE READY TO PRACTICE

It's time to start practicing.  To help you, I've created different kinds of practice examples.  I recommend that you begin at the top and review the "Flashcards," then move down to the "Practice Quizzes" and "Handouts."  However, you may review each week's practice examples in any order you find helpful.  But do practice.  Like many skills, practice will be key when learning how to think critically. 

As you review our practice examples and prepare for this week's Required Skills Quiz, keep the following in mind.  Remember what an argument is.  Remember the difference between the conclusion and a premise.  Remember to look for indicator words.  Remember to look at other contextual clues (especially in dialogues). 

Finally, remember to ask questions when you're confused.  You can ask the teacher and students questions on our Online Office Discussion Board.  You also can send the instructor a private message through Canvas or email.   If you don't practice enough or you don't ask questions, most students will do poorly on our required quizzes.
