Week 11: Cause and Effect

What was useful about the Cause and Effect website reading and exercises?


After reading over the information provided in the Cause and Effect website, i was able to get a more clear understanding of the differences between the two. this website provided with a great explanation of cause and effects and provides with an example to support and demonstrate. The website states that there are three main factors of which casual argument rely on for strength in the argument, which is what i learned. These factors are; how acceptable or demonstrable the implied comparison is, how likely the case for causation seems to be, and how credible the "only significant difference" or "only significant commonality" claim is. this was very clear and set proper guidelines on what was being pointed out. I also enjoyed the exercise about the potato salad that was offered at the end of the lecture. I walked me thought understanding what i had just read and it was effective for sure.
