Learning outcomes |
This course aims to give the student theoretical knowledge of Logic and practical ability to handle logical instruments.
At the end of the course, the student should have developed skills and competences:
a) Basic - Identify and define elementary notions of logic.
b) Operational - Knowing how to use logical instruments (of syllogistics and propositional calculus) for formal and semi-formal analysis of the consistency of arguments and to translate them into deductions and logical calculus.
c) Transversal - Develop critical attention to the rigour of argument expression both in the interpretation of the philosophical text and in its writing, and also as an intellectual attitude to be incorporated.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The theoretical classes will consist, mainly, in oral presentations and through multimedia, and interactive (internet), of the contents of the course. It will be adopted a pedagogical-didactic methodology of initial exposure, followed by exercises and their resolution and, finally, discussion of the results in the light of the logical notions. The exposition of the topics should maximize the clarity and secure acquisition of logical notions, the practice of exercises should provide the student with familiarity with logical instruments and the discussion should serve to consolidate learning. According to this methodology, the assessment is based on the completion of two exercise tests.
