Description

A hands-on introduction to the concepts and methods of logic as they apply in real life. Students learn how to use the 'toolbox' of informal logic to think critically about everyday issues, claims, and arguments, and to detect common argument patterns, logical fallacies, and rhetorical devices in daily social and political discourse.
