Do you understand deductive thinking better because of this thinking unit?

• What is deductive thinking? Have I even heard that term before?

• I already knew what deductive thinking was, so my understanding is the same.

• I think the unit was interesting, but I'm still confused on how to use deductive thinking in real life.

• I understand it much better and can really see how a rule for logical proof can establish a claim.

What is one negative of deductive thinking?

• We don't always have information we need to make a conjecture.

• A person can confidently state that a conclusion is valid without actually having valid premises.

• If a person has predetermined what the picture will be, it's easy to only notice and validate what fits the picture.

• It's hard to put aside bias in order to analyze what is really there.
