You will learn the same curriculum as our on-campus students
This course functions as an introduction to critical thinking and informal logic. We will be focusing on learning the fundamentals of arguments, common mistakes of reasoning (fallacies), how to recognize and refute various argument forms, and how to write effective and convincing arguments of our own. While this is a philosophy course, a background in philosophy is not required; we will rather be examining the background structure of philosophy, the moving pieces and argumentative machinery involved in every kind of argument, philosophical or not. We will do this largely through analyzing various argumentative texts, writing small argumentative essays, and completing short exercises in informal and semi-formal logics.
