his week you will answer the following:
(a) Answer the question: What are some differences between inductive and deductive arguments/reasoning? For this question you must:
a. Discuss four differences. You must NUMBER the four
b. Then give an explanation about WHY or HOW this shows a difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. See below for example. This is Just an example. You do not have to use the phrasing.
(b) You will also answer, “Which of the 4 differences between inductive and deductive reasoning is most confusing?” You have to give one answer. You cannot say “none are confusing at all”
(c) Be sure to discuss with three of your peers on two separate days. You will have a total of 4 posts. One in reply to the prompt and three in reply to your peers.
EXAMPLE:
Deductive arguments are different than inductive arguments in the following four ways:
(1) They are cooler
They are cooler because if they are valid and sound then the conclusion MUST be true. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2) Inductive arguments cannot be x but deductive arguments can be x
Inductive arguments cannot be x for the following reasons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(3) Deductive arguments cannot be y but inductive arguments can be y
Deductive arguments cannot be y but inductive arguments can be y because . . . . . . . . .

(4) Inductive arguments are b but deductive arguments are not b
Inductive arguments are b but deductive arguments are not b because . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I think that # 4 is most confusing because . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
