Logic & Critical Thinking: Assessment & Instruction, Owen Sound
Description
I have more than a decade of experience teaching logic - informal and formal logic - as well as critical thinking in Canadian and foreign universities as well as international private schools. I am currently working on a Ph.D in logic.
This is great training for struggling, young students - logic, critical thinking and analysis can help make other subjects easier to understand; future computer, law or engineering students also benefit from a course in logic, especially formal logic. I have taught students as young as grade 5 and up to university level as well as adults.
Initial assessment/diagnostic available for 50$. Hourly lessons' cost will depend on the level of study.

Sentential or Propositional Logic
First Order Logic.

Inductive Reasoning.

"The first [rule of method] was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be
such; that is to say, carefully to avoid precipitancy and prejudice, and to comprise nothing more in my
judgement than what was presented to my mind so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of
doubt. The second, to divide each of the difficulties under examination into as many parts as possible,
and as might be necessary for its adequate solution. The third, to conduct my thoughts in such order that, by commencing with objects the simplest and easiest to know, I might ascend by little and little, and, as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the more complex; assigning in thought a certain order even to those objects which in their own nature do not stand in a relation of antecedence and sequence. And the last, in every case to make enumerations so complete, and reviews so general, that I might be assured that nothing was omitted." Rene Descartes, Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences, 1637.
