Hey there Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteNice job on your blog! I really liked your simple definitions. They were very easy to read and they got to the point. Not to mention, they were accurate! Also, I really liked your examples! What I liked most about them is that they were interesting. Some even comedic; which is refreshing after reading some that are just plain boring! My favorite example is the one about inductive reasoning! “Inductive: The reasoning is constructed by observations.

I have faith that the next time I put it on it will work.” I felt that it was both accurate and interesting to read. I’m pretty sure I haven’t read an example like that yet, so I have to give you props on that one!
Well have a nice day!
Hello Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Your definitions and examples was very clear and precise. I really enjoy reading your posts they always help me understand the materials better. For instance, I did not understand what causal reasoning was. I thought it was reasoning casually. I don't know they seem to have the same spelling. Anyways, your explanation help me understand it much better. Also your examples were very enjoyable to read. My favorite example was the restaurant one. I actually never thought about it. But you're right when there's a restaurant I automatically think about food. Keep up the great work! Awesome post!
