Event Info

How to Spot and Avoid Errors in Reasoning
The human mind can be easily misled by flawed but persuasive words. To the untrained mind, these mistakes are not easy to spot, and often, emotionally moving words can be mistaken for sound, logical arguments. These mistakes are so common they occur frequently in our day-to-day conversations. Everyone is susceptible to it, including politicians and professors! In this workshop, we will teach you how to spot and identify twenty common types of logical fallacies. This workshop will empower you with a sharp mind to analyse your own reasoning and the reasoning of others.
