do you discuss reasoning in your classes? http://www.akat.com/reasoning.htm 2. Have you encountered an argument that you thought was invalid? If so, visit
the Argument Clinic sponsored by the Philosophy Department at the University

of your choosing. Can you identify any fallacies in the reasoning used by the
