A
Concise Introduction to Logic, by Patrick J. Hurley, 8th
Edition.
The course will include (at least) the material in the 'Traditional Logic Course",as described in the Hurley text on page vi of the Preface-- Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.1-7.4. (7.5-7.7)
This
course is being offered as a regular TTH course.The
course also may be done as a self-paced course.That
is, you may work through the required material on your own, either ahead
of the class or behind the class, or some of each, taking the appropriate
tests when you are ready.But, I will
not be a tutor to those of you who do not come to class regularly.That
is to say, if you are not attending the classroom sessions, I will not
provide lectures, or sessions in which I do for you individually what I
have done in class,If
you elect to do it as a self-paced course, you are largely on your own.Those
of you who elect to work at your own pace are welcome to come to classes
if you like.
There
is no attendence requirement.
Grades
will be calculated according to the following:
