|Course Description |This is a first course in logic. No previous knowledge of logic, philosophy or mathematics is required. The |
| |course will provide an introduction to the central concepts of logic and the language of first-order logic |
| |(FOL). We will learn how to construct formal proofs in both propositional and quantificational logic. This is|
| |a hybrid course, which means that it combines traditional face-to-face teaching methods with an online |
| |teaching component. |
| |You will all be familiar with the requirements of a face-to-face class: you must come to class, ask |
| |questions, contribute to discussions and present solutions to problems. You may be less familiar with the |
| |requirements of a hybrid course. In addition to the requirements of a traditional face-to-face class (though |
| |with less actual class time), you are expected to: |
| |contribute to online discussions (there are both guided discussion threads, designed to engage a particular |
| |issue, and general discussions, designed as a forum for you to raise problems and questions more generally |
| |about the material we cover); |
| |complete the online reading comprehension quizzes before the end date of each unit (unit end dates can be |
| |found in the Schedule, under Course Home, and in the Calendar). Each quiz will be password locked, and you |
| |will be given a five day period to complete them; |
| |participate in the scheduled ClassLive problem sessions (ClassLive sessions can be found under the Chat tab),|
| |during which we will work through practice problems together; and |
| |work cooperatively in small groups to solve assigned problems, for submission either to the eCollege site, or|
| |for presentation in class. |
| |In order to facilitate this small group work, each small group has an assigned, private chat room, which can |
| |be found under the Chat tab. |
| |How much participation in online discussions and ClassLive sessions is required? Obviously, there is no easy |
| |answer to this question. What I would like is for the online discussion threads to act as a knowledge source |
| |for you to return to throughout the course, and to this end I would ask you to raise all of your questions in|
| |the appropriate threaded discussion. (Of course, you must ask questions during regular class time as well.) |
| |Even if you have no comprehension questions, you can contribute to the threads by helping your fellow |
| |students out, and contributing to discussions on issues of which you have a firm grasp. I would like to see |
| |at least one contribution per unit per student, though your contribution may be as little as a simple genuine|
| |question. |
| |Class attendance is required. We have too few sessions together to regularly skip them and expect to do well.|
