Delineate and evaluate an argument Delineate = what is their point? and what is their reasoning? Evaluate = is the point valid? Do they give enough evidence?

False conclusions False Cause and effect = A firm conclusion is made, but many reasons could explain it Ex. She died of lung cancer. She must have been a smoker Circular reasoning = proving what you said by what you said— Ex. ”The fossils are 30 billion years old because the soil it is in is 30 billion years old. We know the soil is 30 billion years old because the fossils are 30 billion years old.” Overgeneralization =coming to a conclusion w/o all the facts. Ex. All short men drive big trucks

Don’t get so emotional Bandwagon = everyone is doing it Personal attack = bush league tactic. Person who does this usually has no counter attack. Transfer = connecting your feelings about one thing onto another Loaded Language = choosing words knowing it will get a rise out of people
