What a finished PHIL-347N Week 5 fallacy analysis looks like
Three quarters of the page is one argument about one sentence. The quoted material comes first and is kept short, a sentence or two with enough around it that the move is visible. The name arrives once, with its definition put into plain terms instead of lifted whole from a glossary, since a copied definition demonstrates nothing at all. Then the demonstration, which is the document: the general form of the pattern written out, the passage's words matched to each part of that form, and a line explaining why the step fails when the parts line up that way. Finished examples usually include the repair as well, a sentence describing what the author would have had to supply to make the same point legitimately.
How a PHIL-347N Week 5 example is structured
Some classrooms supply the passage and some ask you to find one in current commentary, and a found passage needs a link or a scan attached. The example works outward from the sentence. First the move is located and quoted. Then it is stated in plain English, before any label, as what the author is doing: dismissing the claim by describing who made it, or treating two options as the only two. Only then does the name appear, matched to that plain description rather than chosen first and justified afterwards. The demonstration follows, laying the general form beside the quoted words. A short paragraph then handles the strongest objection, which is always that the author meant something weaker, and the closing lines say what would have to change for the passage to earn its point.
The move described before it is named
What the author actually does, written in ordinary words first. A label chosen before that description tends to bend the passage toward the label.
The pattern in general form
The shape set out abstractly, with letters or placeholders, so the match can be shown rather than asserted. Two lines of it are usually enough.
The words matched to the shape
Each part of the general form pointed at the words filling it in the passage, which is the paragraph that separates a graded analysis from a guess.
Why the step does not go through
A sentence saying what the move fails to deliver: the conclusion could be false with everything quoted still standing, and here is the case where that happens.
The charitable objection, answered
The reading on which the author did nothing wrong, stated fairly and then met, because a passage that admits a reasonable alternative reading has not been caught yet.
Where marks go in PHIL-347N Week 5
Ahead of everything else sits the label fastened to a tone rather than to a step: an author is rude about opponents, the word chosen is ad hominem, and no inference has been identified anywhere in the analysis. Next, the quoted sentence that contains no reasoning at all, which makes the naming unfalsifiable and the block unmarkable. Then the analysis that argues from the name instead of from the passage, treating the label as though it were the finding rather than the thing needing support. Calling a legitimate move a fallacy costs a row too; citing a genuine specialist is not an appeal to false authority. And leaving out the repair sentence forfeits the marks set aside for it.

PHIL-347N Week 5 questions, answered
What if the passage does not contain a fallacy?
Say so and show the work. An argument can be weak without being fallacious, and the honest finding is often that the support is thin rather than that a named pattern is present. Most sections accept that answer when it comes with the reasoning; what they mark down is a pattern forced onto a passage to satisfy the week.
Should I use the Latin name or the English one?
Whichever your course materials use, and the example follows your list. Names differ between textbooks: one calls it a false dilemma, another an either-or, another a black-and-white move, and a grader marking against a glossary wants the entry in front of them. Where both are given, the example uses the English and puts the Latin in brackets once.
Can one sentence carry two patterns?
It can, and the stronger paper picks the one doing the damage and argues it properly. Two half-demonstrations score below one complete demonstration wherever this week is marked on depth. Where the second pattern genuinely changes what the passage is doing, the example names it in a closing sentence and marks it as secondary.
