Objectives and outcomes

This course introduces so-called formal or mathematical logic and does not require prior philosophical or mathematical knowledge. Its purpose is not to communicate the results of the logical system but to teach skills - the ability to identify and construct correct inferences and objections. We will evolve from progressive but unified logic from the basis of sentence logic to (modadic) predicate logic. In the process, we will focus on historical issues leading to the development of various logic easily (eg Aristotle, Stoic Scheool, Leibniz, Frege, Jaskowski, Tarski) easily. Insights such as)

Please familiarize yourself with the basic concept of logic, in particular the meaning for useful parameters, and the meaning to match a series of statements.

A function that translates natural language sentences into accurate symbol formats and rigorously evaluates standard reasoning

Get a solid foundation for further study of mathematical logic, and philosophical field depending on sound logical knowledge

Learn the solid foundation of other fields for other fields that play an important role in logic (mathematics, computer science, formal semantics in linguistics)

General analysis and critical thinking skills, including: ability to identify prose arguments and analyze their logical structure

At the end of the course you will be able to translate the following discussion into the language of predicate calculation and prove its validity or prove its invalidity. (1) Neither skeptics nor atheists hate God. (2) All atheists hate to suspect God only when they are not in heaven, (3) Therefore, everyone goes to heaven

The purpose of the course is a clear and concise explanation that explains what students want to learn at the end of the course. The difference between the purpose of the course and the learning outcomes - and why these terms are often confused - the former describes the expected situation (what you want the students to learn) Those students actually learn) I arrived. Both the purpose of the course and the learning outcome are different from those for learning purposes, and the purpose of learning is broader. Comprehensive understanding of goals, goals, and results differences. In 2012, DePaul's Teacher Council and Dean acknowledged six college-wide learning objectives and related outcomes. Even if you do not need it, you should specify the purpose of your course and the learning outcome of the students in the syllabus.

You need to pay attention to the difference between the goal and the result. The goal is a statement about the expected outcome. The result is the final result achieved by achieving the goal. For example, the goal is to reduce deaths from road trauma and the death toll is the result. Likewise, the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the result is the level of greenhouse gas emissions. However, in general, the target statement of the transportation system already exists, and in many places such as the traffic related strategy formulated by the country, the state and the local government, the law including the traffic investment and the activity, the municipal traffic formulated by the local council It is seen. I will plan.
