Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking
An informal logic course (previously called Reason in Communication) that emphasizes critical thinking. Students will learn argument structure, different forms of inductive reasoning, how to recognize informal fallacies, and how to distinguish better and worse reasoning in the media and our everyday lives. Fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning Part A requirement at UW-Madison, as well as the logic requirement at Edgewood College.
This course includes an introduction to propositional logic, but for those students interested in a formal (symbolic) logic course, see course #20809261, Elementary Logic, which fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning Part B requirement at UW-Madison, as well as the logic requirement at Edgewood College.
