Mission Critical

As stated in the about section of mission critical, the goal of mission critical is to create a virtual lab, capable of familiarizing users with the basic concepts of critical thinking in a self-paced, interactive environment.  The mission critical website describes different arguments, analysis of arguments, fallacies and non-rational persuasion, and other commonly used fallacies.  Many of these arguments and fallacies on the website have been explaned previously in this class.  One section that I learned alot from was conjunctions and disjunctions.  The simplest deductions are those involving two or more things connected by a conjunction or a disjunction.  Conjunction and disjunction are governed by multiple rules.  These are and, affirm all, negate one and or, affirm one, negate all.  These rules helped me understand the proper uses of conjunctions and disjunctions because they were never really gone over in class previously.  Also, the examples given in the two sections helped me understand them with a real example.

  1. I agree that the mission critical website describes different arguments, analysis of arguments, fallacies and non-rational persuasion, and etc all of these are important and the website is great for learning it. I like how you explained conjunction and disjunction, and how they have multiple rules. And you added they all are affirm all, negate one and or. I learned a lot more in-depth on this by reading your post, thank you
