Text: The Power of Logic by C. Stephen Layman.
Description and Objectives
This course entails an introduction to both formal and informal logic.
Therefore, the course explores the concept of argument validity and
systems of validity. The objective of the course is to provide students
with logical literacy, that is, knowledge of basic concepts and applications
of logic. Upon successful completion of course, students will be able to:
LRC Technology Orientation
Students should attend an orientation in the use of the LRC before receiving their academic degree (AA). See Jim Morris, LRC director for scheduling.
Grading
Grades are determined by contract. See Course Outline for details.
Students will be required to write 3500 words per Gordon Rule status of the course, if applicable. Writing requirement is defined within Course Outline.
A grade of C or higher is necessary to pass Phi 1100.
Withdrawal
Up until the mid-point of the semester, a student may withdraw without the instructor’s permission. To withdraw up to the mid-point, students should see Director of Student Support or one of the Director's advisors located in building 14 on campus. Information on how to withdraw is found on page 48 of the 2005-2006 Catalog. Click Critical Dates Calendar for last day for student initiated withdrawal.
After the mid-point, the student may withdraw only WITH the express
permission of the instructor, or the instructor may assign a grade. (See
Critical Dates below.) After the mid-point, instructors may involuntarily
withdraw or assign an F grade to a student for non-participation.
Academic Honesty
Cheating, plagiarism, bribery, misrepresentation, and fabrication are not permitted--surprise!--and will be dealt with severely. Students should be aware of the student code of conduct found in the Student Handbook.
Reasonable Accommodations
Lake City Community College seeks to provide reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals with disabilities. This College will adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accommodations as required to afford equal educational opportunity. It is the student’s responsibility to register with the Office of Disabled Student Services, at 754-4393 and to contact the faculty member in a timely manner to arrange for appropriate accommodations.
