Introduction to Logic
Grade: 8 - 12 Min: 4 Max: 15 (15 seats remaining)
Min Assistants: 1 Max Assistants: 1 (1 seat remaining)
Logic is the science and art of reasoning well. This is the first definition the class will learn. In this Introductory Logic class we will find that Logic isn't just for experts and it is a great tool for us to wield with discernment and wisdom. Some examples of what we will learn: *How to think well, *How to form and interpret statements (the building blocks of logical thought), *How to compose valid syllogisms and expose the invalid fakes using counterexamples, *How to analyze arguments in normal English, *How to identify and deflect informal fallacies
I anticipate we can review the weeks homework together in class but depending on the determination and ability to move along there may be some need to complete a lesson
Students will need: Introductory Logic student handbook ISBN 9781591281658, pen/pencil, paper, an ability to focus for the entirety of class and complete homework and willingness to participate in class. Participation during class is required.
Since I do not have a solid count on the class size (first year offering) I am basing this material fee number on a 4 person class size. If there are more than four who sign up for the class we will divide the amount and refund accordingly. 1 Semester $50 2 Semester $10 Please also note the student will need to have the Introductory Logic Student book referenced in Supplies section for the first day of class.
A willingness to: participate by answering and asking questions, assist your fellow class members, manage time well and turning in assignments weekly.
A desire to learn.
