Logic Series from Canon Press

Description

Introductory Logic and Intermediate Logic from Canon Press build from basic to more complex, giving students the tools they need, with good examples along the way. Both courses provide 40 lessons with a one or two semester lesson option. Introductory Logic focuses on informal logic and briefly introduces formal logic and a few of the symbols used for writing logical statements. Intermediate Logic teaches formal logic and uses logical symbols throughout the course. In both courses, the lessons include exercises to help students develop a Christian worldview and defend their faith. 

The Teacher’s Edition includes daily lesson schedules and plans, answers to all exercises, review exercises, quizzes and tests, and the entire content of the Student Text. Consumable Student Text contains readings and exercises. Optional DVDs provide a lively presentation that follows the general lesson outline, although lesson presentations use different examples and information. They provide an excellent option for independent learning. A Test and Quiz Packet is also available for each course. For each course, components are sold separately, or in packages. We offer two packages for your convenience: Complete Program with the Text, Teacher Edition, and Test/Quiz Packet; and the Homeschool Package with the Complete Program and DVD Set.
