Beth in SW WA Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Beth, Below is the current information on this class. This will also be posted today in my forum. Thank you for asking about this! Jim ----------------------------------------------------- Logos On-line Logic Tutorial – 2008-2009 Course description Logos School is now offering an on-line Logic tutorial for the 2008-2009 school year. The instructor for this tutorial will be James B. Nance, the logic teacher at Logos School for the past 17 years, and the author of the popular logic textbooks and materials produced by Logos School Materials and Canon Press. In the fall of 2008, students will work through Introductory Logic, 4th edition by James B. Nance and Douglas Wilson. Topics include 1) Terms and Definition, 2) Statements and their relationships, 3) Syllogisms and Validity, 4) Arguments in Normal English, and 5) Informal Fallacies. In the spring of 2009, students will work through Intermediate Logic, 2nd edition by James B. Nance. Topics include 1) Propositional Logic and Truth Tables, 2) Formal Proof of Validity, 3) Introduction to Digital Logic, and 4) Truth Trees. Tutorials will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 8:15 to 9:15 am PST. At each session – using interactive software – the instructor will preview the lesson to be learned, offering suggestions for how to best grasp the concepts, and cautioning the students about difficulties or common errors to avoid. The students will come to the next session having watched the lessons on DVD, and having completed and graded the assigned exercises (using the Logic Answer Keys). The instructor will spend the hour answering questions, discussing ways to think about the material, and working through additional exercises together. About every other week the student will take a test (using the Logic Test Manuals), to be graded at home before the next session. The tests will be discussed, with questions answered and errors corrected. Syllabus Introductory Logic – Fall 2008 August 1 Payment for first semester due.

SwimmyKids Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Oh my gosh. That's so funny. You'd think I'd go the right way in converting times by my age! My apologies. No wonder it took my son so long to learn converting the different time standards back in third grade; he's genetically stunted. I even remember my mnemonic that worked for him; guess it didn't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
