Module 7: Compare/Contrast
Section outline
-
In the previous module, you learned how to evaluate a specific item, person, place, or phenomenon. And now we need to put that knowledge to further use--being able to evaluate something is the first step to evaluating similar or related things--and this skill is one you'll practice at work and in private. Life is full of choices--you'll have to compare and contrast them.
