Index to Logic Quiz Exercises

Quizzes are an opportunity to master concepts in logic well in advance of tests. Logic is a difficult course to learn in a short period of time. Tests are usually no more difficult than the quizzes presented here.

Logical terminology is generally difficult to understand in a short period of time, and the use of quizzes will help to master conceptual understanding of logical terms prior to tests. 

The quizzes given here are those used in past classes and are not necessarily similar in form to those prepared for this semester.

Please note that topics covered on these past quizzes do not reflect all topics covered on present tests. Course topics are revised from semester to semester. See the course syllabus for further information.
