1). Reasoning by Analogy - My brother doesn't get good grades, yet my parents bought him a car. I have great grades so I should get a car; maybe even a better one.
2). Sign Reasoning - It's been a month since he sprained his ankle during a game. He hasn't played since so it must still be bothering him.
3). Causal Reasoning - If I don't really have much sleep, I will be very cranky.
4). Reasoning by Criteria - My shoes make my feet hurt. I should probably buy new ones.
5). Reasoning by Example - My friend drank 17 shots within one hour. Consequently, he was having seizure and his body temperature went lower from alcohol poisoning. If I were you, I wouldn't drink that much in that short time span.
6). Inductive - I didn't study at all for the last exam and got a bad grade. This time, I'll put time in to study so I can get a better grade.
7). Deductive - If he studies, he will pass the test. He studied thoroughly, so he will the test.

Your post really helped me understand how to do this discussion question. Your post as well as the internet were very helpful in giving simple bite size examples that were simple enough to understand. The simple concept of getting a car, grades, and studying are everyday things that we have encountered for a while and are still encountering today. For number 5, reasoning by example. I don't think it's possible to take 17 shots... A person would DIE by the time they hit 17 shots. Just saying, maybe you could have made your examples more realistic when using drinking. Especially since so many people think that partying, drinking, and smoking are casual things.
Your examples definitely helped me because I had a difficult time figuring out what was the difference between reasoning by criteria and reasoning by example. When I read your examples, it was easier to define what the difference was. I think most of your examples were very relatable to the students in this class. For number 5, reasoning by example, I really think that if someone consumed 17 shots, it would eventually lead to alcohol poisoning, so that was a good real life example! Overall, I really liked your examples because they were relatable and really put all the reasoning types into perspective.
I liked your example of each reasoning. It really made sense of what each reasoning meant with your examples. I liked your example of Reason by Examples. Your example of your friend taking 17 shots in an hour is crazy. A person should not take that many shots in one hour because it is really bad for the body. Even though all your examples make perfect sense and I understand more clearly what each reasoning means. It is hard to understand some of the reasoning's and then write an example for them, but it seems like u understood each and everyone clearly. good job on your posts.
