Schedule and Due Dates
Deductive Logic

Philosophy 200
  Spring 2010


Tentative Reading Schedule


We will be covering (the non-optional sections of) chapters 1-13 of Language, Proof and Logic. In general, we will be reading about a chapter a week. However, I suspect that some chapters will take longer than others, especially as the material gets more difficult. I will alert everyone if the reading schedule should change from what is posted below. I will post the assignments here. Your first assignment is posted below, as well as the tentative reading schedule:

2/8: Your first assignment will be to familiarize yourself with the text and the software. Please read the Introduction, pages 1-10 and complete the "You Try It"  exercise on pp. 8-10. This will walk you through how to register your personal information, email, registration ID number, and will  give you a test submission as practice for future Problem Set submissions. If you have any questions, please contact one of the TAs: Sarah Blair (sarah.blair@oberlin.edu) or Ben Lussier (blussier@oberlin.edu). Please have this completed by Wednesday, February 10.
