Cause and Effect Website
After completing all the readings and exercises on the Cause and Effect website I now have a much better grasp on the whole concept. In the several exercises that we had to complete I got to read about Causal Arguments which is an important use when we argue inductive reasoning. The example that they gave had to do with a bicyclist's and several motor vehicles. The whole point to the example is there is an accident and they explain how the many accusations will or will not hold up in court. They also give examples of why or why not they are good arguments. This site also teaches us about Introductions to Induction and Deduction, Analogical Arguments, and last but not least Surveys, Polls, and Experiments. All of these sections gave me more insight on the topic and helped me to further my communicating abilities. I really did enjoy the little mini quizzes at the end. They helped me make sure I retained the information that I just read about.

I agree with you in that the website helped me understand and grasp the concept of cause and effect. I think most people will agree that the exercises helped a lot when it came to understanding and applying the concept. I liked how this assignment was a little different from our usual read the book and answer the discussion question. This provided us with a little variety which is always good when dealing with school. I thought that the website did a very good job in explaining cause and effect and that other concepts in the book should also have websites because it makes learning more interesting and lively.
