Hurley, Patrick J. A Concise Introduction to Logic. Bring to every class. Introduction to logic is a course which deals with argumentation generally.
Every argument is an instance of reasoning.
So this course focuses on both formal and informal reasoning. The bulk of class time centers on the use and analysis of increasingly formalized methods in the criticism of deductive inferences. Per week, the student may expect to spend an average of six hours outside of class on the readings and exercises. The instructor will require and will recommend exercises to be completed so as to ensure a thorough understanding of the material. Answers to starred homework questions can be found in the back of the book.
