you have learned in creating a logical argument.
For the initial post, address the following:
Considering what you have written or where you are in the writing
process, analyze and evaluate your own argument:
- Is it inductive, deductive, or a mixture of both?
- Explain the form(s) of inductive or deductive reasoning you have
applied.

As you continue to work on your argumentative essay, consider where
fallacies might creep into your reading or writing.
- Have you made a hasty generalization?
- Have you mistaken correlation for causation?
