NB: Next week, during the lecture period, there will be a quiz that counts for a good part of your final mark. It is an open book affair and will examine your familiarity with the material that has been presented in lectures 9-12.
The answers to the tutorial questions from last time are up. And there are some questions for the next tutorial. Also the lecture is there.
FYI. Model answers to the questions for the next tutorial will be available for your inspection at the usual place by Sunday night. Do have a go at them before the answers are put up. Cheating won't be of any use to you.

The marks for the assignment are up. Assignments were handed back in the lecture. If you weren't there you can pick them up from me in my office.

Read chapters 11 and 12 in your textbook to get a more expansive idea of what we mean by informal fallacies.

The answers to the tutorial questions from last time are up. And there are also some questions for the next tutorial. Also the lecture is there. Most of the diagrams turned out OK though some are a bit malformed. I think you should be able to make sense of it. If you can't then see me and I'll get you a photocopy of my notes.
NB: The Assignment is ready for you to download here.

The questions for the next tutorial are now available. There should be enough to keep us busy there. The answers to the last tutorial questions are also available. For those who weren't at the lecture, I drew some diagrams which don't appear in the lecture notes. I've got a few photocopies of those diagrams in the envelope hanging on my office door. Those who are interested can pick them up from there (but the explanation in the textbook should probably be sufficient.)
In preparation for next week's lecture, I recommend that you read chapter 5 of the text.

Those who attended the tutorials may be amused to read the following from today's Australian.
LA PAZ, Bolivia: Carlos Mesa will remain President of Bolivia after Congress rejected his offer to resign ...
