Monday and Tuesday 1/7-1/8

Semester 2 Introduction materials for argumentation:  All materials are on G-Class.  Today we watched this breakdown of how and why we argue and how we determine value of an argument and revisited the answers to yesterday's questions.  The "Intellectual Humility" excerpt on G-Class is also a good resource from Tuesday.

Questions from Monday:
1. What is the difference between argument and analysis?
2. What is the most important aspect of a good argument?
3. How do you define losing vs. winning?
4. Do you have to win an argument to be successful?
5. What does it all mean?

Tuesday's reflection/revision questions: You don't have to change your answers, but what additional considerations (or changes) might you make to your answers? Which of the three argumentative models do you think your answers reflect? Probably most importantly, do you think the "war metaphor" model is reflected in your thoughts about argument? Do you agree with the point the speaker makes toward the end when he says the person who has "lost" has actually made more gains because they have learned more?
