Logic is key to helping students excel in every subject they study, from math and science to rhetoric and humanities. This course will help students understand the fundamentals of thinking correctly.
Description
Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help. In Introductory Logic, you’ll get the benefit of Brian Kohl’s years of teaching experience as he explains the fundamentals for correct thinking.
In the DVD and Student Book, students will learn:
- How to define terms for maximum precision and accuracy — and thus win the debate
- How to form and interpret statements, the building blocks of logical thought
- How to compose valid syllogisms and expose invalid ones using counterexamples
- How to analyze arguments in normal English
- How to identify and deflect informal fallacies (one of the most instantly applicable parts of logic)
(See list of lessons for a complete breakdown of classes)
The Teacher’s Guide provides everything you will need to make teaching logic as easy as possible:
- A daily lesson schedule for completing Introductory Logic in a semester or a year-long course
- Answers to all exercises, review questions, review exercises, quizzes, and tests in the order they are taught.

FAQs
Can I use the 4th edition Introductory Logic textbooks (the green and blue books) with the new Introductory Logic DVD course?
Yes. The order and content of the individual chapters remains the same, so the books are still compatible.
The only difference is with the Introductory Logic Test Book: In the Introductory Logic DVD course, Brian Kohl works through a practice test for each unit, and those blank practice tests are not included in the current edition of the Introductory Logic Test Book (of course, you can still follow along as he works through the test on the DVD).
