Never mind the Thais, most Europeans could use some critical thinking skills. If I could be bothered I'd rewrite Lewis Carroll's book on logic and combine it with Anthony Flew's Thinking about Thinking, but I can't be arsed. Everyone who can't be arsed will eat rice, chickpeas and fish straight from the pan Craig can't be arsed Craig will therefore.................mmmmmmmmmmmmm. tasty Interesting. I each M3 and M4 mathematics, and Logic is major topic in M4 semester 1. I don't know how the topic is taught by Thai teachers, but I taught my students how to test the validity of arguments using truth tables. Try this one...It's one I gave to my students: If you are a fire-eater, then you work in the circus. If you don’t like cotton candy, then you don’t work in the circus. Therefore, if you are a fire-eater, then you like cotton candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
