Then, construct an argument about a topic of your choice in which you commit that logical fallacy. The following is an example: Topic: MOOCs Argument: Thomas Friedman is incorrect in his analysis of MOOCs because he is an imbecile who writes for The New York Times, an idiotic newspaper. Logical Fallacy: This would be an example of an ad hominem attack. Please also post a substantive response to another student’s post. For example, you might ask a question or offer a different viewpoint on the person’s idea.
