Notes

Two frameworks for classifying the 20 knowledge claims:

Framework 1: Personal vs. Shared - : depends on the individual’s experience, insight, or skill - : built and tested collectively

Framework 2: Experiential, Procedural, Propositional - : from direct experience - : knowing how to do something - : knowing that something is the case

How-To Writing Task — This minor assignment asks you to write instructions that allow someone to do something you know how to do. Think carefully about audience analysis: who are they, what do they already know, what do they need?
