Review+for+Final

Hey gang. As promised, here's a bit more direction to help you prep for the final.

I will give you the short answer/multiple choice test on Tuesday night to take home with you. You'll bring it back and turn it in on Thursday. It'll be comprised as follows:
 * Part 1. Short Answer:**

Logical Fallacies: Review the PowerPoint presentation I uploaded. You'll have to know only those fallacies that are mentioned in that PPT.

Inductive vs. Deductive: Review the PowerPoint I uploaded. You'll be given five scenarios and asked whether they use deductive or inductive reasoning.

Grammar: Check out the list of top twenty grammar mistakes by college students. I'll have about 20 sentences, each of which has a grammatical error in it. I'll give you the proofreader symbol that indicates the type of error. You'll then need to fix the mistakes.

On Thursday, the last day, you'll be given a short essay topic to write about. You'll be expected to write a reasonable, well-formulated argument (claim, evidence, warrants, counter-argument). Here are some topic ideas:
 * Part 2. Essay Portion**:
 * Is torture ever acceptable?
 * Should men get paternity leave from work?
 * Is a lottery a good idea?
 * Do we have a fair taxation system?
 * Do curfews keep teens out of trouble?

Your final exam will give you several choices similar to these.

Hope that helps. Now go have a good weekend!
