November 14, 2018 by Nora 2 Comments

Writing With Causal Logic

October 10, 2018 by Nora Leave a Comment

In school, many of us have learned about logic in a more or less formal way. We learn how to build an argument or how to defend a position, using  logical steps, methods like inductive or deductive reasoning. It’s how we were taught to write our essays and papers. My son recently had to write […]
