    Summary of Class

    To understand the reliability and usefulness of an information or


    argument, in order to analyze things and draw conclusions, it is important
    to understand the differences between fact and opinion. Facts are still one
    step ahead of opinions, since facts may be proven to be correct or right,
    while views may also be correct, but they can not be proven to be true.
