About this site

This site is for the PHI 154 “Introduction to Symbolic Logic” course (Fall 2023) at Hofstra University.

This site and Canvas

In addition to this site, we will also use a Canvas site. Canvas is available directly or through the Hofstra Portal. Why use both? This site is easy for you to access and for me to publish to, whereas the Canvas site can present password-protected information. Grades and material in copyright will therefore be available through Canvas. There is a link to Canvas at the top of this (and every) page, ↑.

Using this site

The landing page for this site is the Assignments calendar, because that is the page you will need to access most often. Look there for reading assignments and problem sets.

Everything else on the site is accessible through one of the shortcut buttons at the top. They lead to:

Using Canvas

Several kinds of things will appear on Canvas. Look for the following in the menu list on the left.

Share things

Think of anything that reminds you of what we’re talking about in the course? Students sometimes send me course-related things others might enjoy seeing. Please feel welcome to share. It’s straightforward for me to add a note or a topic-page link.
