Series of short videos introducing critical thinking and argumentation; they cover: 1) Validity, 2) Truth and Validity, and 3) Soundness.
Strengths
The videos are engaging with high quality visuals and content. Moreover, the videos stand alone as a resource that students can use on their own time.
Concerns
The videos describe sound arguments in general, and is not specific to oral arguments.
Recommendations for use
An instructor could use this video to introduce the vocabulary that students need to describe whether an argument makes sense. It would be important to supplement the video with discipline-specific examples.
