Using the book Stella Cotrell's Critical Thinking: Developing Effective Analysis and Argument (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005). [Look on the menu on the left hand sidebar. There is a copy there for you, and I strongly suggest reading Chapter 1].

3. The third benefit is .......
Do this for each one of the six benefits. Think about when you bought your phone or your car, or chose to study at ADMC.
