Instructions

Fallacies are mistakes in reasoning, not to be confused with having false premises or conclusions.  Formal fallacies are mistakes in the use of deductive patterns, but informal fallacies are mistakes that typically involve having premises that are either not relevant to the issue or are otherwise inadequate.  In this quiz you will have five arguments that may or may not be examples of specific informal fallacies.   You will have two chances at this quiz.  Be sure to review what you missed on your first attempt and review the module material as necessary.
