Discussion Questions: Week Ten

2). Sometimes when something is difficult to understand, it becomes a bit clearer when we try to explain it to someone else.  Which type of reasoning was most difficult to understand?  Please do some additional internet research on that specific type of reasoning and discuss what you learned.


I found causal reasoning quiet hard to comprehend. The reason was that the definition did not provide clarity on my part. I had to do additional research from the Google search engine in order to finally undertstand that causal reasoning was actually reasoning from cause and effect. Through most of my searches of the term "causal reasoning" it Google kept asking me if I was searching for "Casual reasoning." At first I thought I misspelled it so I click on the "Casual Reasoning" but that did not bring up any links that explain what was "casual reasoning" more like it did not exist. So I double checked, and search the correct terms. The cause and effect of an argument is "causal reasoning."


For example: From the beginning of summer til the end, I worked a total of 40 hours every week. So by the end of summer I had enough money saved up to pay for my classes, books, and parking permit.


So in that example, cause I worked 40 hours every week of summer vacation. The effect of that was I was able to pay for classes, books, and a parking permit for SJSU.  


Thanks for reading! :D

  1. Hey ellacomm!
    Casual Reasoning was hard for me to understand as well. Out of all the reasonings we had to discuss on our first post of this week's discussion, casual reasoning took me the longest. I had to google search it as well and had to look through several different websites in order to get a better understanding of it. After giving an example on my first post, I still had a doubt for casual reasoning, hoping if I explained it correct and made sense. I saw your post about casual reasoning and you helped me understand alot easier. Great Job! Have a good weekend!
