Assignment 3.6: Practice SQ4R Method

SQ4R Method
The following is a written review sheet of chapter 4 (understanding "logos") using the SQ4R method

Surevey:
Surveying through the book, I've encountered some eye catching words such as:
~appraising evidence
~facts as evidence
~personal experience as evidence
~values
~presenting evidence in visual form

Questions:

1. What is logos?


2. In appraising evidence, how does facts or statistics, personal experience, authority and values play a role?


3. How does presenting evidence in visual form help?
   

Read:

Reading through the questions and finding the right answer.

Recite:

Reciting the answer out loud so that it can be written.

Write:

1. Logic and logos may sound and even mean the same, they dohave it's differences. Logos involves having good command of information and language. While logic is based on facts and reason rather than emotion.


2. Facts as evidence plays an important role when writing because you have to support it. Using personal experience as evidence helps give readers a chance to visualize the writer spoint of view. Lets say for an example, a tourist vistits Hawaii and writes about the beautiful beaches and attractions. Another reader would disagree because he had a bad experience in Hawaii. Authority as evidence is common in all arguements since these are cited. It is much the same as doing research. When you gather all your information about a subject, you have to site the resource. Values as evidence differentiate between controversies that go on in the world today, however moral values support their arguments.


3. Presenting evidence in a visual form can be more appealing than others (like me). Sometimes it is easier to understand than reading. When presenting statistics, you'd want to visualize it in a graph of some sort.
