In this sense, you can think of logic as aerobics for the brain. Second, the skills and concepts you will acquire by taking this course will improve both your ability to read challenging academic material and your ability to write clear, well-reasoned papers. CoursePacket of selected Handouts and Additional Required Readings Both should be available at Williamson Bookstore. There s no hard and fast distinction between office hours and the logic lab. The logic lab is a scheduled block of time when I will be available informally to answer questions on homework, provide supplemental instruction, individual tutoring, etc.
Attendance is optional for the lab.
There will also be two in-class activities for the Something Different component of the course. Homework assignments are worth 10 points each. Thus homework assignments will account for 50 points total. Unexcused late assignments will be graded and marked as turned in, but you will not receive any points for them. Mini-quizzes are worth 10 points each, for a total of 50 possible points.
