This has two parts. Each part needs to be roughly 200 words.
Part one:
Inference to the Best Explanation
One of the most common inferences in life is the inference to the best explanation (sometimes called abductive reasoning). We use this type of reasoning to infer what would best explain the things that we see. Chapter 6 in our book demonstrates ways in which this type of reasoning helps us to explain the world around us.
Prepare: Review Section 6.5 of the course text on Inferences to the Best Explanation. Choose a topic that is difficult or controversial to explain. Some good topics include hoaxes, unusual sightings (e.g. UFOs, bigfoot, etc.), the supernatural or paranormal (ghosts, levitation, etc.), conspiracy theories, unsolved crimes, court cases, etc.
Reflect: Do a little research to find a specific topic and learn about explanations on both sides. Consider what you think might best explain the observed facts of the case.
Scientist-practitioner
Create a 10-12-slide presentation about the role of scientist-practitioners. Include the following in your presentation:
A title page
A description of the key knowledge, skills, and abilities of an effective scientist-practitioner
A description of how research reports are an essential component for the scientist-practitioner
A description of why data management and presentation are key components of research reports
A reference page
At least three scholarly sources
Detailed speaker notes that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person
