(a) Make a numbered list of claims involved in the argument.
(b) Say which claims support which (using the numbers you assigned
in part a).
(c) Schematize the argument (using the numbers you assigned in part
a).
(d) Evaluate each inference step (simple argument) within the
complex argument by saying
whether it is a valid deductive argument, a strong inductive
argument, or a weak inductive
argument, then evaluate the entire complex argument.
