The purpose of this course is to give students an overview of formal logic by looking at terms, statements and syllogisms and giving them a logic structure by which to recognize a fallacy.  These formal-sounding skills are keys to developing critical thinking skills. Many students who enjoy this class go on to compete in speech and debate.

Classroom activities will teach a specific aspect of logic each week then challenge the students to make connections by weighing and debating real world examples.  

Each week will have an at-home assignment which should take about an hour a week.
