This course cultivates sound reasoning. Students will learn to see the structure of claims and arguments and to use those structures in developing strong arguments and exposing shoddy ones. We will learn to evaluate arguments on the strength of the reasoning rather than on the force of their associations and buzzwords.
This course is limited to first-years and sophomores.
First six seats reserved for majors only. Seats will roll out to additional classes during the first week of pre-registration.
