Subject

Whether your students are learning in a brick-and-mortar school or a homeschool or online, you teachers and parents know how important logic is -- but that doesn't make the technical aspects of the subject any easier (in fact the fundamental nature of the subject makes it even more intimidating!). This program has painstakingly designed Intermediate Logic with that tension in mind: you'll get the benefit of James B. Nance's twenty years of teaching experience, so mastering logic will be as painless (and rewarding!) as possible for any student. Anybody can learn from Intermediate Logic. The whole series takes advantage of a brand new, clean, easy-to-read layout, lots of margin notes for key points and further study, a step-by-step modern method, and exercises for every lesson (plus review questions and exercises for every unit). More importantly, anybody can teach Intermediate Logic. Here are the features that make the Teacher Edition for Intermediate Logic the obvious choice for educators new to logic, no matter where they teach:

• A daily lesson schedule for completing Intermediate Logic in a semester or a year-long course.
• Answers to all exercises, review questions, review exercises, quizzes, and tests in the order they are taught.
• Contains the entire Student Edition text -- with the same page numbers as the Student Edition! No more flipping back and forth between answer keys and textbook.
• Detailed daily lesson plans for the entire textbook explain each lesson's daily Student Objectives, Special Notes, step-by-step Teaching Instructions with bolded terms, advice, and more examples,
• Assignments for each lesson,
• Optional Exercises for further exploration and integration

More teaching resources for Intermediate Logic: 1. The Intermediate Logic Test & Quiz Packet contains a blank copy of every quiz or test that one student would need for the entire Introductory Logic course (you can cross "make copies" off your to-do list, permanently!). It even contains an alternative version of each test for practice -- the best thing for unit review! Answers to all quizzes and tests are in the Teacher Edition. 2. The all-new Intermediate Logic DVD Course is the equivalent of having veteran teacher James B. Nance in your classroom or home, bringing his 20+ years of experience into your classroom or home by working through every lesson and every practice test! Watch the DVD Course as you prep for each lesson or show it to your kids when you need to introduce the new material. 9.5+ hours. In Intermediate Logic, you'll get the benefit of James B. Nance's twenty years of teaching experience to help you master teaching all these elements of propositional logic:

• How to interpret and analyze logical operators and truth tables by reviewing and applying the concepts of validity, contradiction, consistency, and equivalence,
• How to internalize the nine basic rules of inference to derive an argument's conclusions from its premises,
• How to easily determine consistency, self-contradiction, tautology, equivalence, and validity by using truth trees,
• How to apply all these skills to real-life thinkers and writers wherever you encounter them,
• An all-new optional unit on understanding digital logic, the "language" which modern gadgets (from digital alarm clock displays to computer processors) use to function.
