Review

"Students used to have difficulties doing their online homework and lower grades overall when I used Aplia and Hurley for online tutoring. Students have been doing much better in terms of homework and grades since I began using Baronett's Logic, Third Edition, and especially Dashboard's gradual and structured quizzes and interactive exercises. Their grades are significantly higher."--David Gilboa, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh

"I find the interactive proof exercises in Dashboard for Logic, Third Edition, essential for my online logic courses, and I do not know of any other system that provides anything comparable. Dashboard is the only software that really teaches proof construction."--Jeremy Byrd, Tarrant County College

"The key strength of Logic as a whole is Baronett's style and ability to speak to students. The explanations are clear, on point, and easy to grasp. This text puts logic within the reach of every student, and faculty will find it to be comprehensive and well organized. It is clearly superior to other texts on the market."--Nancy Slonneger-Hancock, Northern Kentucky University

"The examples and sample problems are wonderful! They draw from sources that students may find familiar, such as popular culture, advertising, medicine, literature, politics, and even famous arguments in the history of philosophy."--Kevin DeLapp, Converse College

"Logic is filled with wonderful and pertinent exercises with easily accessed answers, which are always accompanied by clever and comprehensible explanations. Its supplemental products are far and away the best I have seen in the field."--Lorraine Arangno, University of Colorado Colorado Springs

"Logic contains a wealth of information, examples, and exercises from all walks of life, is flexible enough to support differing course needs, and has the comprehensiveness necessary for teachers and the relevance and excitement necessary to sustain students' interest. I find it far superior to Hurley in terms of its content, organization, and clarity of writing."--Joia Lewis Turner, Saint Paul College

"The substantive explanations are very, very clear indeed, and are better in my view than those in Hurley. Logic covers all that I use in Hurley, is more accessible, has a better online package, and is cheaper. An exceptionally clear and accessible text that's perfect for an introductory logic course."--James Stacey Taylor, The College of New Jersey
