Conclusion and looking ahead

You’ve almost com­plet­ed this les­son!

This les­son intro­duced the fol­low­ing:

• The impor­tance of the argu­ment in the realm of crit­i­cal think­ing
• The build­ing blocks of an argu­ment (state­ments, con­clu­sions, premis­es)
• Var­i­ous mean­ings of the word “rea­son”
• Ana­lyz­ing argu­ments
• Dis­tin­guish­ing between facts and opin­ions

In the next les­son, Intro­duc­tion to fal­lac­i­es, we’ll intro­duce fal­lac­i­es as a man­age­able and relat­able way to quick­ly start work­ing with argu­ments while learn­ing and apply­ing crit­i­cal-think­ing skills.

After a (hope­ful­ly) pain­less final quiz, we’ll see you in the next les­son!
