READING BEYAND THE WORDS
When reading you must a as certain level of knowledge in what you are reading and you must always be trying to interpret what the author is saying because a lot of time it may not be in front of you in black and white. Everything the author is saying to you must be taken in to account in what he may be trying to accomplish by getting his work across. In what type of tone is the author coming across as, is it persuasive? Is it a summary, or a biography or maybe a report of some finding that he is sharing?

EVALUATING INTERNET RESOURCES.
One of the greatest resources we know have on hand is the World Wide Web. We can find information to almost any subject imaginable with just the click of a button. This resource is extremely useful but at the same time can crippling as well. A lot of time when books are published they are made sure that the information written is legitimate where as where as on web that is not always the case. When getting reliable references from the web you must make sure the information that you’re gathering is coming from a credible source rather than form a 15 year old kid who’s posting nonsense on the web. The fact is that anybody can put stuff on the web so it is important to make sure the information you’re receiving is factual.

READING UNDERSTANDING, AND CREATING VISUALS
When reading about a confusing subject of being taught about a confusing subject just words won’t always get the point across. Visual aids play such a huge role in the learning process and when making presentations. An example when a visual aid makes learning easier is when learning about the digestive system one can first explain in words but you can only get so much from words, but seeing a picture of the digestive tract it makes the word so much more clear and easier to understand. When presenting in a front of colleagues or in front of your peers visual aid proves to be extremely helpful in either getting your argument across or your point across.

IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING ARGUMENTS
In arguments we come across deductive argument, inductive and evaluating arguments. A deductive argument is that the premise is to be undeniably true that the conclusion is also unquestionably true as well. In an inductive argument the premise is highly probable to be true as well as the conclusion. The main thing to understand between the two is probability as which you know is the absolute truth and what you know is high probable. In an argument you want to have a deductive stance because nothing can argue with one hundred percent fact.
