Logic Course Curriculum

9 modules across 3 levels.

Intermediate

Intermediate Logic

Start with Arguments & validity, Propositional logic and Truth tables. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Logic becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Practice Problems

EasyExplain Arguments & validity to someone who has never studied the subject, using one worked example.
Solution: A strong answer defines arguments & validity precisely, gives one concrete example, and names the limitation it runs into.
MediumExplain Propositional logic to someone who has never studied the subject, using one worked example.
Solution: A strong answer defines propositional logic precisely, gives one concrete example, and names the limitation it runs into.
HardExplain Truth tables to someone who has never studied the subject, using one worked example.
Solution: A strong answer defines truth tables precisely, gives one concrete example, and names the limitation it runs into.

Glossary

Arguments & validity

A central idea in the intermediate Logic path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Arguments & validity to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

Propositional logic

A central idea in the intermediate Logic path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Propositional logic to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

Truth tables

About the Logic curriculum

The Logic curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in humanities, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of Arguments & validity and Core methods in Propositional logic, moves through Applying Truth tables and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Modal logic basics and Mastering Logic in computation.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from Arguments & validity and Putting arguments & validity to work at the start to Hands-on: logic in computation and Checking your understanding of logic in computation by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is written for students and independent readers who want to argue carefully rather than collect opinions. Each theme is taught through sources and competing readings, so you practise building an interpretation and answering the strongest objection to it.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Logic path you should be able to work confidently with:

Arguments & validity

Putting arguments & validity to work

Checking your understanding of arguments & validity

Propositional logic

Hands-on: propositional logic

Checking your understanding of propositional logic

Truth tables

Putting truth tables to work

How the Logic curriculum is structured

Intermediate 6 weeks · about 24 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Intermediate Logic

Start with Arguments & validity, Propositional logic and Truth tables. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Logic becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of Arguments & validity · Core methods in Propositional logic · Applying Truth tables

  • Arguments & validity: Arguments & validity is where many Logic learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.
  • Putting arguments & validity to work: This module treats Arguments & validity as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Logic.
  • Checking your understanding of arguments & validity: Arguments & validity is where many Logic learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of Arguments & validity in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Logic

Build on the intermediate level through Natural deduction, Predicate logic and Quantifiers. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Natural deduction · Patterns and trade-offs in Predicate logic · Scaling Quantifiers

  • Natural deduction: Here Natural deduction becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.
  • Putting natural deduction to work: Natural deduction is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.
  • Checking your understanding of natural deduction: Here Natural deduction becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Natural deduction drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Logic

Work at the edge of Logic through Informal fallacies, Modal logic basics and Logic in computation. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Informal fallacies · Leading practice in Modal logic basics · Mastering Logic in computation

  • Informal fallacies: Informal fallacies is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.
  • Hands-on: informal fallacies: This module asks you to critique and extend Informal fallacies rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Checking your understanding of informal fallacies: Informal fallacies is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Informal fallacies — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

How to study Logic, phase by phase

  1. 1

    Phase 1 — Intermediate

    Set aside around 6 weeks · about 24 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Foundations of Arguments & validity and Core methods in Propositional logic. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Write a one-page explanation of Arguments & validity in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

  2. 2

    Phase 2 — Advanced

    Set aside around 8 weeks · about 32 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with In depth Natural deduction and Patterns and trade-offs in Predicate logic. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Produce a short case analysis in which Natural deduction drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

  3. 3

    Phase 3 — Expert

    Set aside around 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Frontiers of Informal fallacies and Leading practice in Modal logic basics. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Write a professional-standard brief on Informal fallacies — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

  4. 4

    Phase 4 — Consolidate

    Return to the sections that felt weakest, redo their quizzes from memory, and rebuild the Write a one-page explanation of Arguments & validity in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist. without following along. Explaining Logic to someone else in plain language is the clearest signal that the Expert level has landed.

Once you have finished, the Logic path is a reasonable foundation for research, policy, education and public-sector work. Because the curriculum is generated and kept as a structured outline rather than fixed videos, you can revisit any module, regenerate the outline at a different depth, or save it to your library and work through it over weeks rather than in one sitting.
