Cause and Effect Website

I found the cause and effect website to be very useful and a different experience with learning new material. The book has been our main source of information for this class and it was interesting to be able to try a different style of learning especially with the exercises the website used. I also found the website to be very useful because of the examples that were very easily understood. I especially like the example with the traffic accident that showed how cause effect arguments worked. I also found the information about the three factors in determining the strength of a casual argument: (1) how acceptable or demonstrable the implied comparison is, (2) how likely the case for causation seems to be, (3) and how credible the "only significant difference" or "only significant commonality" claim is. I really liked the learning style of the website and found the website and the information in it very useful.
