Logic Summer session first meeting

So our Logic course for the summer started this evening with a four hour session. Since it was four hours I asked two quiz questions. The first quiz question was what are the ten commandments. The second quiz question was what did you think of the Ontological argument? There are also videos of the two halves of this evening. First lecture and second lecture. Remember next week we have off because of the holiday. See you in two weeks.

Finals week

So far my Logic class met and we watched Ex Machina and had a great discussion about AI. My Early Modern Philosophy class met and we watched Irrational Man and argued over the ending of the movie. My Afternoon Introduction to Philosophy class voted to watch The Life of Brian which we followed up by watching some of the discussion between John Cleese, Malcolm Muggeridge, Michael Palin, and the Bishop. Wednesday I spent the day in my office downtown grading. Thursday the same - but this evening my evening Introduction to Philosophy will pick a movie to watch and discuss. We shall see which one. Meanwhile, I have been voted this year to deliver the speech at Graduation. To make it interesting I plan to post it on my web site and seek input from the students. I shall post the web page on Facebook to share it around. Details to follow....
