When I was going over the cause and effect website and exercises I found the two rules to remember in dealing with causation to be useful because it is important for everyone to know with different types of real life situations. I learned a lot from the two rules especially the second rule when it was stated that even a strong correlation is insufficient to prove causation. In a way at first I did not really understand what it meant, but after re reading it I slowly began to understand the significance of it and how important it is for us to know about. As for the exercises on the cause and effect website I found the fact that the answers to the exercise were on the bottom of the page. I am not saying that I just looked and the answers and answered them, but it was helpful because with every wrong answer I had I was able to see why I got it wrong in the first place.

I agree with your post! I too found it very helpful how the answers were on the bottom of the page in case you got soem wrong. It is much better to see the answer and try to figure out why you were wrong and the answer was right, then to just aknowlege that you got the answer wrong. It was very helpful in making sure you understood the topic. This webpage does make you learn much more than just reading the book. As we all have in one way or another mentioned in our blogs that the text is a little vague when it comes to the lessons and our blogs really help each other out. I think this website would be a great addition to the curriculum (hope I spelt it right).
