So we’re back in Manitoba. I’ve changed gears, but it doesn’t seem to be a slower one. I’m teaching a course called Critical Thinking at the University of Manitoba. The course covers some formal and informal logic, teaches students how to recognize and evaluate arguments, and how to avoid errant reasoning. It’s been fun–I think–but it is wearing me out. I decided that I would try to present my lectures with the use of Powerpoint. It makes for a nice finished product, but it adds a significant amount of time to my preparation. The nice thing is that, when I teach the course again in two weeks, I’ll have all of the lectures prepared.
Anyway, we’re enjoying the Manitoba weather and attractions. Just this evening, we went to BDI for ice cream. I think that when we return to Massachusetts, we’ll take BDI with us.
