Description
This course teaches you how to reason more effectively by introducing the principles of formal and informal logic. You’ll learn how to distinguish sound arguments from flawed ones, spot fallacies in everyday discourse, and communicate more persuasively. Beginning with deductive and inductive reasoning, the course then dives into logical structures like syllogisms, truth tables, and propositional logic. You’ll also explore real-life applications in law, politics, media, and business. With practice in evaluating assumptions, interpreting evidence, and identifying bias, this course helps sharpen decision-making and critical engagement in a noisy, information-heavy world. Whether you’re prepping for exams, refining workplace communication, or navigating complex issues, this course builds a toolkit for rational thought and articulate expression.

This course sharpened my reasoning skills in ways I didn’t expect. The logical frameworks and practice scenarios really helped me prep for the LSAT and improved how I build arguments.

You wouldn’t think logic is critical outside of philosophy, but this course proved otherwise. It improved my debugging process and how I evaluate technical decisions.
