PH 113 - Logic and Critical Thinking


Credit(s): 3
The goal of this course is to foster sound reasoning. Logic, as the art of reasoning, teaches us how to draw inferences, formulate arguments, and evaluate the thinking of ourselves and others. This course will cover many different ‘types’ of logic including deductive, inductive, and critical thinking, all of which are intimately related and are mutually supportive in the development of good reasoning skills. The materials and concepts that we will cover can help you to become a better thinker, writer, and a more effective communicator. From logical puzzles to Venn diagrams to symbolic proofs, this course is also an excellent preparation for the GRE, LSAT, or MCAT. It requires both quantitative thinking and facility with language.
