I just noticed that the website has videos, whereas iTunes U only has audio, plus a pdf file of the slides. Maybe it's easier to follow with the video... |
I finished watching the course tonight. I would recommend it heartily. It has been more useful that I expected, in helping me analyze arguments here and elsewhere on the web. Most of it is stuff I already use all the time, but it's great to lay it out, take it apart and see how it actually works.
And now I am reminded of that link on Aristotle I posted earlier. I never did read the article...
