Document Summary

For if,then statements you need to keep them together (not two separate premises) Review: each argument is made up of claims (complete idea), which can be reasons or conclusions. ***for an a+ answer state that it is a cause and effect relationship. Decide whether it is a correlation or causation. *** slide 16 for homework and exam -> criteria for establishing causation. First step: state what the speaker thinks is the cause and effect. If unsure between causation and generalization -> look for population and sample. For spatial connection -> qulifiers and quantifiers are good to have. For correlation -> if the argument is too vague you can explain by saying that there are missing qualifiers/quantifiers -> (cid:449)e do(cid:374)"t k(cid:374)o(cid:449) (cid:449)ho the students are for e. g. in the lpa. *** state the analogues the two things being compared. Cause: the university started to admit more non-traditional students. In this example, it seems that one event came before the other.
