Intermediate Logic: Mastering Propositional Arguments Student Text
Description
- How to interpret and analyze logical operators and truth tables by reviewing and applying the concepts of validity, contradiction, consistency, and equivalence,
- How to internalize the nine basic rules of inference to derive an argument's conclusions from its premises,
- How to easily determine consistency, self-contradiction, tautology, equivalence, and validity by using truth trees,
- How to apply all these skills to real-life thinkers and writers wherever you encounter them,
- An all-new optional unit on understanding digital logic, the "language" which modern gadgets (from digital alarm clock displays to computer processors) use to function.
Intermediate Logic is the logical progression from the Canon Press Introductory Logic course. Refined in the classroom, students learn how to discern between valid and contradictory statements, predict arguments through the proofs of validity, judge contradictory claims, identify “chains of thought” and apply the tools of argument. An optional unit teaches the basics of programming through digital logic. Following a similar format as Introductory Logic, Intermediate Logic is a rigorous, yet user-friendly formal logic course. The course provides forty lessons divided into five units.
The Teacher Guide provides a lesson schedule for one or two semesters of study. Along with the lesson schedule, the Teacher’s Edition includes the complete Student Text and answers to all exercises, review questions and exercises, and the quizzes and tests. Sold separately, the Test and Quiz Packet is not reproducible. The consumable Student Text includes readings for the lessons, sidebars with definitions, key points, cautions, suggestions for further study, activities for thinking deeper, and historical information. Practice Exercise pages are perforated, and not reproducible. The optional DVD Set includes expanded lessons and examples that may be used for independent learning or as teacher prep. In the DVD lessons, veteran teacher Brian Kohl engagingly teaches through every lesson and practice test. We offer two packages for your convenience: Complete Program with the Text, Teacher Edition, and Test/Quiz Packet; and the Homeschool Package with all the components of the Complete Program and the helpful DVD Set.
