General Announcements
Activity
36.2. Activity¶
36.2.1. Motivation¶
[…] provide supporting evidence for any claims you make […]
- evidence¶
The available body of facts or information indicating whether a claim is valid.
- supporting¶
(adjective) Serving to corroborate something.
- supporting evidence¶
Evidence provided in an argument (i.e., a line of reasoning) to help corroborate the claim that is being argued.
- statistical evidence¶
Evidence that summarizes a larger collection of evidence using some mathematical and/or statistical representation.
- anecdotal evidence¶
Evidence that is an account of someone’s personal, casual, and non-systematic observations. Anecdoal evidence can be valid, but it’s considered weak unless statistical evidence suggests it holds for a representative sample of some target population or an argument is provided that incorporates a trusted source.
- fallacy¶
Faulty reasoning; a misleading or unsound argument. A fallacy is often characterized by a lack supporting evidence.

36.2.2. Breakout Groups¶
Important
RANDOMIZE: Please move around to different tables and form a random group for this activity. Each group should have no more than two people that are in the same term project team.
Quickly introduce yourselves to each other, if you don’t already know each other.
Pick a group representative. This person will be responsible for posting your breakout group’s response on Piazza before breakout group work ends for this activity.
Help your group representative respond to the following in a followup discussion to Piazza @110.
List the names of your breakout group members.
You breakout group should have students from multiple term project groups. Discuss some of the design decisions and/or claims made in those term projects, and identify the following for each project:
team name;
one design decision or claim where you think strong supporting evidence was provided; and
one design decision or claim where you think weak evidence was provided.
Among the strong examples you identified, pick the design decision you think has the strongest supporting evidence, then describe why you think that. It’s okay for this to be informal.
Among the weak examples you identified, pick the design decision or claim you think has the weakest evidence, then describe why you think that. It’s okay for this to be informal.
Provide supporting evidence for the design decision or claim you picked as the weakest. If you can’t provide anything concrete, then identify the fallacy that the claim resembles the most, then provide a plan that outlines how you might address it and where you might look for the information you need.
Look at and reply to the posts that other groups made.
36.2.3. After Breakout Groups¶
Look at some of the Piazza posts as a class.
36.2.4. After Class¶
Before the next class period, individually comment on another group’s post by replying to their followup discussion in Piazza @110.
