Students will learn what arguments are and how to analyze them,
as well as a system for analyzing larger, inter-argument
relations in debate.  Students will learn a number of common but
defective argument forms and relations, called fallacies. 
Students will learn how to translate arguments from a natural
language such as English into the precise formal language of 
propositional logic, and then learn a semantic method (truth
trees) for analyzing those arguments.  Students will learn how
and where to spend their rational trust in what others tell them
in order to determine what sources one ought to believe by
learning the skills necessary to assess credibility, experts,
lies, and news.  Additionally, students will learn some of 
the epistemic foundations of the moral right to freedom of 
discussion.
