    Description
    An introductory general education course focusing on the use of arguments both in ordinary discourse and the academic disciplines within the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The course is split between informal and deductive/formal logic. The emphasis for informal logic will be on its role for the basic learning skills of fallacy identification, written communication (reading/writing), and then bringing these skills to bear in practical ways. The emphasis for deductive logic will involve truth tables, categorical logic, and propositional logic, including proofs. Recommended for all humanities, social science, business, and natural science majors and those planning to transfer to a four-year college or university. C-ID: PHIL 110.
