Introductory Logic: The Fundamentals of Thinking Well DVD Set 5ED

Introductory Logic from Canon Press provides an excellent introduction to informal and formal logic. Helping students identify fallacies and logically think through them and debate or argue well, this course is well-constructed and easy to teach. There are five units, divided into 40 lessons, that may be taught in one semester (daily lessons) or two semesters (2-3x a week). Units cover terms and definitions, statements, syllogisms and validity, arguments, and informal fallacies. The course is a complete and fairly rigorous course and is from a Christian perspective. Building from basic to more complex, Introductory Logic gives students the tools they need, with good examples along the way. Definitions of important terms, key points, and caution signs regarding common errors are set apart in the margins of the text. 

The Student Text begins with a section on defining terms, which lays the foundation for the lessons that follow. Exercise pages are perforated for easy removal. The Teacher Edition includes both full-year and one-semester lesson schedules; answers to all exercises, review exercises, quizzes and tests; the entire content of the Student Text; and detailed daily lesson plans with teacher's notes. An optional DVD Set includes engaging lessons from Brian Kohl who has taught at the high school and college levels. The video lessons are lively, following the general lesson outline, although lectures offer information and examples that are somewhat different. These are excellent options for independent learning. We offer two packages for your convenience: Complete Program with the Text, Teacher Edition, and Test/Quiz Packet; and a Homeschool Package with all the components of the Complete Program and the helpful DVD Set.
