Introduction: Sep 3, Sep 4 (both free to attend)
Course descriptions: https://youtu.be/msV8-CDGbM0
Logic is a discipline that examines the rules of thinking and drawing conclusions, or in other words, constructing and evaluating arguments. In our daily lives, both personal and academic, we are surrounded by arguments. These arguments might appear on television, or they might appear within academic research. Because of the ubiquity of arguments, it is important to be able to analyze arguments, avoid faulty conclusions in reasoning, understand levels of meaning and kinds of arguments, avoid verbal pitfalls, understand the steps of scientific methods, and identify value assumptions. Through an understanding and practice of logic, or for many, the concept of critical thinking, students will be able to better handle these challenges.
To help students to achieve this, the purpose of this course is to introduce students to basic logical concepts and rules for logical and ultimately critical thinking. Through the process of developing logical thinking and critical thinking skills, this class will utilize a variety of texts for students to analyze and critique. Reading, specifically reading critically, is an essential part of developing logic and critical thinking skills. Because of this, critical reading is embedded as a foundational component in this class. Class reading materials will serve a variety of specific uses, beginning by illustrating specific examples and facets of logic in both academic and popular settings, and ultimately being used as material for students to analyze and critique. The nature of logic, critical thinking, and debate, mean that students will be developing critical reading skills through this process.
This five-week course will focus on some of the most salient aspects of informal logic. Students can be expected to develop a better awareness of the logical structure of thinking, which can be applied to every field of knowledge. |

CC 1: Independent judgment and ability to innovate
CC 2: Professional knowledge and skills
CC 3: Communicative and team skills
II. Course Intended Learning Outcome (CILO)
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
CILO 1: distinguish between various types of inductive and deductive arguments
CILO 2: evaluate the works of their own and their peers on deductive arguments for validity and soundness
CILO 3: extract the formal structure of arguments as they occur in ordinary language and evaluate those arguments
CILO 4: identify the informal fallacies within a reasoning process
CILO 5: create logical arguments (both inductive and deductive) in their field of study
CILO 6: Students will be able to develop critical skills and apply these skills to generate their own well-formed arguments |
