Airman Leadership School Set A (VOL 1,2,3)With Complete Solutions.SrA Shelby listens as the ALS instructor says, "The course is rigorous so you'll want to manage your time wisely because your achievements depend entirely on the effort
you put forth. Invest time in reviewing lesson objectives and samples of behavior because they help you prepare for exams. Although we use various teaching methods to appeal to all learning styles, most students find it takes effective study habits, critical thinking, and effective use of EPME's structured thinking process to make it through the course."

The day before graduating, SrA Hill is showing her dad, a military retiree, around the campus when he asks, "What was the hardest part of the course?" Hill replies, "The schedule was hard at first because I was juggling reading, writing, and homework assignments plus marathon study sessions with my flight. I finally settled into a routine that helped me pay attention in class, take good notes, and actively participate in classroom discussions.

all the time.

While talking with another instructor, TSgt Bright says, "I'm concerned about SrA Tall, one of my students. She completes all assignments and I know she takes notes
because she shares them with the flight, but she barely passed her briefing evaluations, which I believe is due to the flight helping her practice so much. Although I have seen her study with the flight, most of the time she studies alone. This morning she failed the formative exercise, by one question, and failed to meet the academic standard. I counseled her about additional study but I'm not sure she can pass the summative."

Speaking to his boss, SSgt Binder says, I've always been taught to spend all the funds in our account. Otherwise, we lose that for good. Should we spend the funds left in our account on things we do not really need? Binder's boss responds, "you are
the expert on resources...what do you think?" Binder replies, "I don't know." After Binder asks questions to find the facts and examines the issue from different viewpoints, he decides not to spend the funds. The following year, Binder's budget is

Observing how worried his subordinates looked while waiting to hear about the organizational restructure, SSgt Steven says, "It's a commonly known fact that a restructure is mostly for the leadership of the organization, so I wouldn't worry too much.

are the people that do most of the work around here." is evidence of Confirmation Bias and selective thinking and his statement "It's a commonly known fact..." is an example of Assuring expressions. These statements create a false sense of security for his subordinates and can ultimately decrease effectiveness and bring on unwarranted stress.

copy, and scan.
Pragmatic Fallacy - Answer This is arguing something is true because "it works," even though the cause of this something and the outcome are not demonstrated.

Free thinker - Answer a person who forms their own opinions about important subjects (religion/politics) instead of accepting what other people say.
Healthy skepticism - Answer examining issues from as many sides as possible; rationally looking for the good and bad points of the various sides examined; accepting the fact that we may be in error ourselves; and maintaining the goal of getting at the truth (or close to the truth (or as close to the truth as possible), rather than trying to please others or find fault with their views.

Highly motivated - Answer being able to put in the necessary work sufficient evaluate
the multiple sides of issues.
Intellectual humility - Answer means adhering tentatively to recently acquired opinions; being prepared to examine new evidence and arguments, even if such examinations leads one to discover flaws in one's own cherished beliefs; to begin thinking in terms of 'degress of certainty' or 'shades of grey'.

an advertisement claiming that a battery lasts "up to 30% longer, but does not say it will last 30% longer."
Doublespeak Jargon - Answer This is the use of technical language to make the simple seem complex, the trivial seem profound, or the insignificant seem important, all done intentionally to impress others. An example of this would be referring to a family as "a bounded plurality of role-playing individuals" or a homeless person as a "non-goal oriented member of society."
Emotive Content - Answer The intentional use of words to arouse feelings about a subject to bias others positively or negatively, in order to gain influence or power. Some examples are: Naming detergents "Joy" and "Cheer" (positive), not "Dreary" or
"Tedious" (negative) and the military using the phrase "neutralizing the opposition" (less negative) than saying something like "killing".
False Implications - Answer This is the use of language that is clear and accurate but
misleading because it suggests something false. One example is when the dairy industry cleverly expresses fat content as a percentage of weight, not of calories.
Faulty Logic or Perception - Answer Faulty logic or perception leads to misconceptions, which are the basis of false or mistaken ideas.
Apophenia and Superstition - Answer It is the erroneous perception of the connections between unrelated events. An example would be someone who irrationally believes wearing their hat while watching a football game can influence the score.

False Analogies - Answer False analogies is making illogical analogies to support the validity of a particular claim. Arguing that two children sharing the same bedroom
