Authority
You trust an expert based on their credentials and experience.
The strength of the knowledge depends on the strength of the authority
Ex:Don’t leave your roller skates on the stairs. Ouch!
Authority
BenefitsSaves you from
finding out the hard way
Faster than learning for your self
DrawbacksThe expert can be
wrongTwo experts could
disagreeThe expert could
change their mind
Logic
You use reasoning and thinking to get new knowledge based on what you already know
This is like how you figure out who did it in the game Clue, or how you win Sudoko
Logic
BenefitsYou can come up with
new knowledge just by thinking and puzzling it out.
If A=B, and B=C, then A=C
DrawbacksIf your starting point is
wrong, your conclusion will be wrong.
I always get an A in my favorite class. Economics is my favorite class, so I will get an A in Economics.
If your reasoning is wrong your conclusion will be wrong
Parrots live in trees, and parrots eat crackers, therefore, crackers grow on trees.
Intuition

Gut feelings or hunches, or common sense, or faith fall into this category
Intuition
BenefitsThis knowledge comes
from within you without an outside source.
It feels right to you.
DrawbacksIt may be impossible to
explain to someone what it feels like or how you know.
It could be wrong.
Science
You use your senses to make observations and experiments to gather evidence to physically show something is true.
Science
BenefitsEasy to share because
people can get the same results you did
Very reliableCan be used to make
predictions
DrawbacksIf something can’t be
observed, measured, or tested, science can’t tell about it.

4. Eric steps into the shower and turns on the water. After waiting for awhile, the water is still cold. Eric knows the shower made hot water yesterday, so it should give hot water today. Since he was the first one to get the shower, he decides the hot water couldn’t have run out already, so the pilot light on the water heater must be out.
