Compass Prep

The first part of the course will focus on logical fallacies, knowledge of which will provide an essential lifetime framework for filtering good and bad reasoning, as well as writing and speaking effectively. This mastery of informal logic is a foundational subject by which other subjects are evaluated, assessed, and learned.  In the second part of the course, students will combine their knowledge of logic and fallacies with a study of rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) to begin crafting convincing arguments in a series of creative and academic writing assignments.
