Before the course is built
Setup asks about your situation first.
Lesson 1 opens on the moment you describe, and the examples use your role. For this request, expect questions like these.
- Where do you want sharper reasoning: work, arguments with people, reading the news, or your own decisions?
- Do you know any formal logic, or is this new?
- Is there an argument you are trying to evaluate right now?
