Question #3

In the book Critical Thinking, by Richard L. Epstein and Carolyn Kernberger, I found that section B in chapter five, titled, Criteria for Accepting or Rejecting Claims, interesting. This is because it gave you a lot of examples on when you should use your personal experience or other sources when you are trying to reject a claim or if you are accepting the claim. It also gave you a summary in the end, which made it really clear on when you should accept or reject a claim based on your personal experience and also when to accept and reject a claim when basing it on other sources. Along with the summary I also found that the exercises they listed were also very helpful. They made it easier to understand when you should use personal experience or when it would be better to use another source. I found this section to be very helpful and very easy to understand.
