CO/M 2150 Argumentation
This course is designed to provide a theoretical framework for studying the principles of argumentation through understanding fundamental argumentation theories and the foundations of structuring propositions. Successively, emphasis will be on the ability to distinguish between proposition and claim types, the development of informal logic, strategies for research, the capacity to distinguish acceptable for spurious evidence, and case construction. Practical application will result with the students successfully creating an effective speech presentation generating belief and conviction. (3 lect.)
