Learn 13 more logical fallacies -- and develop the skills, tools, and habits of stepping back, analyzing a situation, and thinking logically and clearly. Critical thinking is a must for all students!

Instructor: Tammy Parker

Course Description: This course reviews and builds upon the skills and knowledge acquired in the course Detecting Logical Fallacies, Part One. Now is a great time to introduce informal logic and critical thinking skills; during late Middle School or early High School, a student's brain has reached a point of neurological development where he or she is ready to grapple with and consider material logically. Students continue the pursuit of combining the concrete with the abstract, utilizing a method that will lead them to further develop a habit of stepping back, analyzing a situation, and thinking logically. By cleverly completing this course, students will solidify their grasp of the first 15 concepts and then learn the details surrounding 13 additional fallacies. Detecting Logical Fallacies, Part Two will further your student’s ability to decipher, analyze, and contend with a complex world using a sound and logical approach.
