Think Again III: How to Reason Inductively
Do you want to solve a murder case? What went wrong with your computer? In your daily life, who can you rely on? This course will teach you how to evaluate and analyze five types of inductive arguments: generalizations from samples, applications of generalizations, inference to the best explanation, analogy arguments, and causal reasoning. The course concludes by demonstrating how probability can be used to aid in the making of various decisions.
Each week will be broken down into several video segments that can be watched individually or in groups. After each segment, there will be a short ungraded quiz to check comprehension, as well as a longer graded quiz at the end of the course. Understanding Arguments: An Introduction to Informal Logic, Ninth Edition, Concise, Chapters 8-12, by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Robert Fogelin, is recommended for students who want more detailed explanations or additional exercises, or who want to dig deeper into these topics.
