Discuusion week 11-17 Post 3


  Something interesting I have found in the chapter 11 is the steps of analyzing complex arguments. First of all we need to read the passage, and decide whether it’s an argument. If it is an argument then identify the conclusion, then number the every sentence or clause that might be a claim. Then for each numbered part: We need to check if it is ambiguous or too vague to be claim. If its vague is there a way to clear that up.  Next step identify the claims that lead directly to the conclusion. Then identify the sub arguments that are meant to support the claims that lead directly to the conclusion. Furthermore, see if the obvious objections have been considered. Note which of the claims in the argument are unsupported and evaluate. Evaluate each argument as valid on the scale from strong to weak. Is there a way to repair the fallacy?  Evaluate each  argument as valid from strong to weak.
