논리적 오류: "오류 탐정"

I will be using the following book as a guide for this session: "The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning" by Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hans Blued.

It is not required that you purchase this book in order to take this class. 

Each week I will go over a chapter in the book and cover different logical ideas. This includes learning about proper reasoning in arguments as well as identifying logical fallacies. Students will learn about informal logic. 

I will teach using a lecture style with opportunities for class discussion. I will ask students comprehensive questions and guide class discussion on the topic.
