Answers to Fallacies worksheet

Dear students,

Please find in the folder here the slides for our lesson on fallacies this week as well as the answers to the worksheet (it's in Part 2 of the slides). We will not go through them as in class as we have more important and urgent things to do. However, I do expect you to be familiar with the fallacies as I will be making mention to them when giving feedback. 

More importantly, here are some things you can do to avoid committing the fallacies:

1) Check that you have the necessary support to make the claim you are making.

2) Check your assumptions. Are they fair assumptions? Are your readers likely to share these assumptions that you have?

3) Qualify your claim appropriately.

Regards,
Mr Ong Chin Meng
