Critical Thinking: Deductive and Inductive Arguments with Implicit Premises 

You're welcome, and I'm glad you're finding the lectures helpful. When I'm advising students, actually, I try to push them to take classes with at least several different philosophy professors, just so that they can get multiple takes on matters. I passed your comments on to Suzanne by email -- I'm no longer at FSU, where we shot and uploaded these videos.

Thank you SUZANNE HESSELTINE! This is an AMAZING idea. I respect my philosophy professor very much, she knows her stuff, but sometimes when it's harder to grasp certain concepts and she is unavailable, it's nice to look at other ways those concepts are taught. You guys have managed to help a college student from a small Albertan city you most likely haven't heard of hahaha... today, wrote my philosophy final exam and when it came to the implicit premises part, I remembered this. Again, Thank you

This was great! I’ve been struggling in my online class and the instructor helped this make sense to me!

you're very welcome -- but you should also thank someone behind the scenes -- Suzanne Hesseltine, who gave me the idea to record these lectures, and helped me get them into the FSU channel

Glad these videos were helpful for you

Gregory, you rock man! Seriously, you do an excellent job. Cheers from canada.

We used Moore and Parker's "Critical Thinking", 9th edition

@Lazdinger Well, one implicit premise would likely be: those who grow up in Alberta know about cattle and stampedes

Brilliant explanations sir! as well as great approach on keeping up the pace with students! greetings from Saudi Arabia!

Thank you sir.

Thanks for the upload. This helps with explaining rhetorical devices with my HS seniors. Did you teach at FSU before Marist?

Awesome

so simple

"Where there's smoke there's fire". Just swap the two terms around....to become: "where there's fire there's smoke"!

help! "It sounded like a stampede of cattle," Crooks said. "I grew up in Alberta, so I know." This would seem to be reasonably easy but I couldn't get it... what would be a good implicit premis for this???? "There are a lot of cows in Alberta" ??? or " I was a cattle rancher in Alberta"???
