The reading for week 6 is Chapter 9: "A Logician's View: Deduction, Induction, Fallacies" on pages 335 to 365. For this week's discussion board please tell us if you have even heard of logical fallacies before, or if this is the first you have become aware of them. Also please let us know which of the fallacies mentioned in chapter 9 (especially on pages 353-362) you have either seen personally or think would be very tempting for someone to use and why.

A little back ground to help you write:

Yes, I have heard of logical fallacies before in my philosophy 103 but did not grasp concept thus why am taking ENG 116.

Fallacies that seen most of them but once that I think are common are:

Hasty generalization fallacy

Appeal to pity fallacy:

Appeal to ignorance fallacy

Missing the point fallacy

Post hoc fallacy

Appeal of authority fallacy
