Extra Credit  

 

 

For 5% of extra credit, to be applied to your final course grade, attend some on-campus event and apply the logical skills we've developed over the course of the semester. 

 

Your application of the logical skills we've developed over the course of the semester should be done by 1) identifying premises and conclusions from the content of the on-campus event, and 2) assessing the deductive correctness or inductive strength of an argument presented at that on-campus event.  

 

To receive the full 5% of extra credit, explain in three paragraphs a) the event you attended, b) the premises and conclusion you identified, and c) your assessment of the deductive correctness or inductive strength of one of the argument from that event. 

 

Extra credit will not be accepted before week 12, or after the date of our final exam.
