TOP REVIEWS FROM LOGIC FOR ECONOMISTS
This was a testing introduction, but I found it very useful to getting to grips with the basics of logic. I very much enjoyed the assignments presented and hope to revisit them at some point.
The course approaches the material well and explains it well. But, the problem sets are much harder than the level of discussion in the videos. Overall, I found the course challenging.
This course is really helpful and informative but it lacks to provide practice sums and course should have suggested some preference book which can be helpful for problem-solving.
Great course for an introduction into logic and its relations mathematics. The instructor was very responsive and helpful as well.
