What was useful about the Mission Critical website?

What was useful about the Mission Critical website?

There were many things that I found useful from the mission critical website that was provided. After reading through the information provided on the website, I was able to understand the subject a lot better because of all the information on the website. The website had many different parts such as "parts of an argument," "basic relations," "analysis of arguments," "fallacies and non rational persuasion," and "other common fallacies." On the mission critical website under the "parts of argument" tab, i found the information provided for statements to be very helpful. A statement or claim can be divided into a sentence that is either true or false, and a sentence that "cannot." Only a few sentences cannot be true or false. Sentences such as "just do it!" and "why not?" Statements or claims are sentences that fall under the "true or false" category. We can categorize statements by three qualities; "where they are verifiable, evaluative, or advocatory claims," "where they are specific or, if non-specific, whether the qualification strengthens or weakens the claim," and "whether they serve as conclusions, premises, or support in an argument."
