I just took a Critical Thinking college coures and that course goes over
this sort of thing in great detail, among other things, including defining a
premise in an argument, deducting thru reasoning, determing if an argument
is an appeal to the masses and not factual, how to determine a problem with
distinctive steps (KT method, Fishbone, Gannt Chart, etc) , the problem
statement, etc. I knew much of it, but never have seen it put in such
distinctive terms and methods. That was one class I enjoyed and learned much
from.
