Study Group Style Lecture, Discussion, Activity
Description We will start with the formal definition of logic, and talk about how that can help us think and reason. We'll then use a variety of logic puzzles and games to help us reason. We will often collaborate but I'll also have puzzles that we can work on individually in class or at home. We'll talk about strategies and how to evaluate both our methods and our answers. For each type of individual puzzle, I'll have a range of difficulty levels. My goal is for us all to have fun and learn more about how we think. There will be some activities to do outside of study group time.
