Cause and Effect Website

What was useful about the Cause and Effect Website?

I know we are suppose to talk about how this website was useful, however, I did not find it very helpful. I thought the website consisted of a lot of run-on sentences that were tough to comprehend. On the other hand, the example that they used to illustrate inductive reasoning and arguing causation was easy to picture. The ideas behind it all were very easy to understand however the actual content of the website was tough to understand.

Since it was tough for me to grasp the concept of the website, I read over it multiple times. It took me three times reading the entire section to finally understand it.. On a lighter note, I really enjoyed to exercises that went along with the website. I answered a few questions wrong, but it was nice because it told me why my answers were wrong. That helped me further understand the material. So even though I did not like the website very much, I still gained some knowledge out of it.

  1. Hey Kalem! It is nice to read your thoughts about the website. I on the other hand thought the website clearly explained the concept for me, but I guess it did not really work out for you huh? It’s okay though; at least we both agree that the example was well written. The example did help me understand the material more so maybe that is why I like the website. The exercises were a bit cheesy but I guess it did work and help me and a lot of people understand. I really like how they told us why the answers were wrong instead of just plainly tell us that it is wrong. Nice post this week!!!
