We suggest that you begin with a year of what we call “casual” informal logic: a year of exploring terms and methods of informal logic through storybooks, puzzles, and other fun activities. This will serve as a warm-up for a more organized study of informal logic. Plan on spending two more years working through an informal logic course, and then wrap up with at least one year of formal logic. Progressing on to the second year of formal logic is optional, and the progression may well run over into the high-school years.
