Fourth Exam
Quiz According to Bacchuber, in our attempt to learn what correct thinking is, we do not only study the
MODULE I-XII Library Work areas of correct thinking but we include the realm of incorrect thinking. The reasons are: 1) the
Assignment completion of our journey to learn correct thinking can be only achieved if we learn the two natures
Article Analysis of thinking, the correct and incorrect. 2) We need to know incorrect thinking so that we can easily
recognize it if it will be presented before us. “Doctors study not the healthy people but the sick in
Multiple Choice order to cure diseases.” Hence, informal fallacy is incorporated in the introduction to logic. In this
Questions (50 items) chapter, the students are expected to learn the different fallacious statements both in language and in
context. The purpose of this topic is to help the students safeguard themselves from fallacious
reasoning found in many articles, reading materials, and other sources of information.
