The Mission Critical website is obviously under construction and definitely needs it. The Mission Critical link (http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/main.html) is the homepage, or “main menu” of the site. This page is organized very nicely… with main topics such as, the basics, the analysis of arguments, and fallacies and non-rational persuasion. Under these main topics are more specific sections such as parts of an argument and basic relations; which are then broken down further. The causal argument tab (http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/induc/causal.html) focuses on the ins and outs of causal arguments. I like how this page goes into details with a specific example, the bicycle accident. This page also has an associated page for exercises to help with understanding causal arguments. Both of these links and pages provide invaluable information to a student in a Comm 41 course, or even any class that deals with critical thinking. When studying for the final I will definitely be using this site to further my understanding of difficult concepts.
