How can I argue correctly? How am I as a writer? The objective of this subject is, first of all, to make an introduction to the fundamental logical notions: truth and falsehood, logical consequence, correct reasoning, satisfaction and consistency. Secondly, it is intended to provide students with the basic techniques for the logical analysis of reasoning, paying special attention to philosophical reasoning. The course, however, can be attended by people from other specialties. Throughout the course there will be a writing workshop to put into practice the acquired knowledge.

There are three evaluation activities: two synthesis tests, and a series of exercises within a writing workshop. The first test will evaluate the content on propositional logic, and will be worth 45% of the grade; the second test will evaluate the contents of first-order logic, and will be worth 45% of the grade. The exercises done in the writing workshop will be worth 10% of the grade.
The two logic tests will be carried out, one in November, and the other in December. The third activity will be done throughout the course. At the time of carrying out each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.
In order to participate in the final exam, students must first be evaluated in the two synthesis tests, and have obtained a minimum of 3 points (adding the results of the two tests). "Non-evaluable" will be considered only those who have not performed any of the three evaluation activities.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
