Write 3 paragraphs explaining the following:

1. Define ONE SPECIFIC informal fallacy or cognitive bias. (i.e., “ad hominem,” “False dichotomy,” “Confirmation bias” etc.) Make sure to use a formal definition and cite the source. Cite as (author, page number). This definition and the citation must come from the reading materials listed above. Use of another source will result in your having to redo the assignment.

2. Explain the informal fallacy or cognitive bias by using an example of an argument that commits that fallacy or an example of faulty reasoning due to the cognitive bias. Preferably choose an example where you made the mistake. If you use someone else’s example, be sure to put it in quotation marks and include a proper citation, i.e., (author, page number). Remember, you are USING the example to support your explanation of how the fallacy works, so explain the example briefly.

3. Provide a works cited page. MLA citation guide.
