Previously in our Orientation Week

🗓️ Day 1: Online Class Netiquette

🗓️ Day 2: Subject Orientation

🗓️ Day 3: Online Class Applications

_{🗓️ Today is Day 4}

^{Topic - Guided Generalization: The Basics}

In this session, you will learn to...

✅ determine the meaning and use of generalization

✅ make sound generalizations using the process of claim, evidence, and reason (CER)

Knowledge as ANSWER

VS. Knowledge as PROCESS

We will break down the thought process of the two characters in the video in the next few slides.😎

^{Knowledge as ANSWER}

_✅ 🧠❗❗ _{mind says "I know the answer"}

_{✅ answer from memory/memorization}

_{✅ focus is on the ANSWER not on the process}

_{✅ view of knowledge is limited}

_{✅ TRUTH is derived from the superficial memorized/opinionated fact}

^{Knowledge as PROCESS}

_✅ 🧠❗❓_{mind says "I might know/not know the answer but I will look into it."}

_{✅ answer as a result of the process}

_{✅ focus is on the PROCESS, not the answer}

_{✅ view of knowledge is broad}

_{✅ TRUTH is derived from the careful thought process}
