Asuumptions

In academia it is important to understand that often students in classes may approach a certain subject with assumptions that are not necessarily wrong but they may differ from other students assumptions. This seems to apply more in a online class because of the challenging learning environment in terms of not having face to face meetings with the students or the professors. When others assume things in the classroom it is important to be skeptical and even defensive about the assumptions made much like Descartes was because if we don’t we have the possibility to set ourselves up for the poor formulation of arguments and allow ourselves to be venerable just because the assumptions we made were not accurate. If we can get to the root of any given assumption and approach them in a careful way it is possible that we can then have a better grasp on the subject.
