Analyzing Your Own Assumptions
This module’s reading discusses many types of flaws in argumentation and ways to correct them. Following that discussion, this analysis asks you to look at your own arguments as formulated in Module 2 and Project Part 1 and see if you have included any oversimplifications, either/or thinking, overgeneralizations, hidden premises, or double standards.

Assessment Directions:
1.Restate your position statement on the issue from Project Part 1.

2.List at least two assumptions that this argument makes.

3.After that, analyze these assumptions in a 46 sentence (minimum) paragraph. Evaluate if your assumptions are based on any of the errors in argumentation discussed in your book. For example, have you made any overgeneralizations? Have you oversimplified anything? Do you have any hidden premises?

4.Write another 34 sentences that discuss how you can improve your own arguments based on your readings and analysis this module.
