The goal of the valuation process is to deliver
well-researched and supportable conclusions. The Critical Thinking & Junk
Science course includes both principles and case studies for the appraisal
professional. The three approaches to value (cost, income and sales
comparison), coupled with complex issues set forth in USPAP AO-9 (cost, use and
risk effects) established a solid valuation framework.
Critical Thinking and Junk Science expands an appraiser’s
professional skill set by focusing upon five topics within the context of real
estate valuation:
1. Epistemologies. The academic community has long
identified research methods to collect and build credible knowledge and are
discussed within the context of valuation.
2. Critical Thinking. Appraisers must employ an objective
analysis that allows them to form credible opinions, especially when involving
complex or “atypical” properties.2
3. Logical Fallacies. Appraisers should avoid invalid or
faulty reasoning and comply with USPAP, and established methodologies primarily
set forth by the Appraisal Institute.
4. Cognitive Bias. Appraisers should avoid any systematic
pattern of deviation from rationality or established standards and ethics of
the appraisal profession.
5. Junk Science. Appraisers must avoid unproven or untested
tactics or theories when presenting an opinion of value. These tactics are
explored, along with how to rebut them.
Appraisers are licensed professionals, and their opinions
should be unbiased and reflect credible value conclusions.3 Valuation judgments
must promote transparency, minimize subjective factors, be applied objectively
to avoid biased analyses, opinions and conclusions.4
Understanding these complexities helps develop a credible
opinion of value. While many of these issues are addressed throughout USPAP,
professional literature and coursework, this course focuses on them in a single
framework.
