Transfers ToCSUCSU GE Area A3DescriptionThis course is designed to foster logical and critical thinking skills, through the examination of both formal and informal logical concepts and systems with an emphasis on validity, translation, truth tables, syntax, semantics, and proof method in sentential logic. By appealing to these traditional formal and informal techniques of logic, a number of general issues connected with rational criticism of arguments are explored. These include a discussion of the special features associated with critical thinking in different fields of argumentation and a discussion of fallacies as non-formal failures in the process of reasoning.
