Paper Summary:

The paper presents answers to four questions that test a student's comprehension of Halpern (2003). The paper explains that these are analyzing evidence, human habits of mind that interfere with inference and assumption, as opposed to induction and fact, NB concepts such as the slippery slope, the camel's nose and blue bus and common errors of reasoning as they pertain to the social and applied sciences.

From the Paper:

"The questions and responses below pertain to Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9. (Halpern, 2003) They involve concepts and errors of assumption and interference. Question No. I. Scenario: Mr. X has been charged with "Murder I", or the premeditated murder of his former business partner, Mrs. Y. His lawyer is arguing that although Mr. X had a role contributing to Mrs. Y's death, this was not intentional, and that he is therefore, not guilty of manslaughter. The lawyer proceeds from a point of contesting the charge, demanding evidence to support Mr. X having intentionally killed his business partner."
