Criteria and Example Reasoning

In this last post I will briefly elucidate Criteria and Example Reasoning with an attempt to clarify some points for my fellow students. An example of criteria reasoning is when there is information presented about a certain topic and a subject gathers the information and draws a conclusion from it. This is most commonly found in written arguments. When we draw conclusions on paper usually we use more concrete fact and try and stay as objective as we can. Because of this, when we write we tend to use criteria based writing rather than draw from personal experience. In contrast, Example Reasoning, in my opinion, is used more during conversation. People constantly draw on past experiences and other past experiences, whether it is from a day ago or a year ago, it is much easier to draw on such examples from your memory bank then read up on a recent study on a conclusion that your trying to prove.
