2). What was useful about the Mission Critical website?
I found the usefulness of the website was that the website provided all the communication 41 critical thinking ideas that we have studied prior to this website. Also the website consisted very good definitions of the content that we have read in the Epstein book. Additionally the definition from the website was more precise and understandable also it was shorter read when compared to the Epstein textbook. Furthermore, the website has exercises which further help me understand the concept that was being discussed. I also really liked how the website explained why a certain answer would be incorrect while the book does not state if the answer was correct or give an explanation. Also the website is well organized and simple to understand. For example, I really enjoy reading their definition of Causal Argument. The website gave a short and sweet explanation also exercises that helped me further understand the concept.
Thank you!
Hi there ellacomm! I also noticed that the website did have the concepts that we’ve learned from the beginning of the semester to now (mostly all). I have to agree with you that the website was more understandable compared to the book because the book could be really overwhelming, but then again it could be the reason of us already knowing or having an idea of what the concepts mean. The exercises also helped me out, because being a hands on person, having information just being said and thrown at me does not really help. And yes! The explanations of why some answers are not correct allowed me to understand concepts even more.
ReplyDeleteHello! I agree with you what you said. The website was basically what we have learned throughout the semester, which meant that it was in the Epstein's book. It was also very useful because of the exercises where they give you the correct answer if you got it wrong and they tell you why the answer I've chose was incorrect. By doing it this way, I was able to understand more because of the explanations they provided. Basically this website was short and simple. It was more simple than the book we read. Anyways, keep up the good work. I like reading your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post. I agree with you that when reading this website it was very beneficial and useful for us to read. The website had a bunch of concepts and terms that we used before or are using and learning about now. It was very useful to read about the different concepts in depth with very clear explanations and also examples.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree also that this website provided additional exercises that helped with understanding and clarity with the concepts that we have learned and are learning now. I enjoyed the website too because it went more in depth than our book does and it cut right to the chase versus the book.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading your posts.
