Collecting Scores by E-mail
To send LogiCola scores by e-mail, students bring up TOOLS | VIEW SCORES within LogiCola, click PASTE TO E-MAIL, and then follow the directions. You'll receive an e-mail with score data and directions about how to process this data, like this:
This method works fast and checks the authenticity of the scores. If you want to respond to a student's e-mail, then in your e-mail program click REPLY, click PASTE (Ctrl-V) to put 'Thanks, I recorded the scores!' into the e-mail, and then click SEND.Collecting Scores from Flash Drives
At exam time, I use the classroom computer (or bring my laptop), attach a couple USB extension cords to the computer (some USB hubs work well too), start LogiSkor, check AUTORECORD, and have my students insert their USB flash drives into the extension cords. Scores record automatically. When the student's name appears on the screen (and the student can see this or else I call the student's name), then the student's scores have been recorded. AUTORECORD automatically records scores from all folders of inserted flash drives; several flash drives can be inserted at once.Processing Collected Scores
After I've collected scores, I click SELECTED EXERCISES to display just the exercises I assigned. I click EVERY STUDENT to display scores from every student, and I click VIEW SCORE COLLECTION FILE. I click LEVEL (under the TOOLS menu) to make sure that 7 is the expected scoring level. Then I click PRINT to preview a score report that lists the students, what exercises they did, and their resulting bonus or penalty. If it all looks right, I again click PRINT to get a neat printout of student scores.LogiSkor Boxes and Buttons
LogiSkor has three listboxes at the top, the first two listing student names and exercises. You can set these two to display in various ways:Menu Commands

I assign LogiCola exercises to go with each written exam; for example, I assign 11 exercises (AEM, AET, AHM, AHT, BC, BD, BE, BF, BH, BI, and BS) to go with my exam on syllogistic logic. My syllabus tells students how these exercises work into their grading: You'll do much of your homework on computer using the LogiCola program. Download LogiCola from http://www.harryhiker.com/lc. Give me your scores on a USB flash drive or by e-mail when you take the corresponding written quiz; I won't accept scores after I return the quiz. Try to do the exercises at an average level of 7 or higher (levels go from 1 to 9).
Your exercise scores add a bonus or penalty to your exam score. Let's say your average level (dropping fractions) is N. You get a +1 bonus for each number N is above 7; so you get a +2 bonus if N=9. You get a -1 penalty for each number N is below 7; so you get a -3 penalty if N=4. If you fake scores, your course grade will be lowered by one grade.
At exam time, most of my students send me their scores by e-mail; but a few bring their USB flash drives to the test, where I process scores using the classroom computer or my laptop.To send LogiCola scores by e-mail, students bring up TOOLS | VIEW SCORES within LogiCola, click PASTE TO E-MAIL, and then follow the directions.

How To Download Logicola On Mac Os
- If you're running LogiSkor under Windows, students can remove their flash drives after their scores have recorded.
- If you're running LogkSkor under Macintosh, you have to eject properly each flash drive (e.g. right-click it and then pick eject) before the flash drive is removed, or else your Mac will complain and the files on the flash drive may be corrupted.
All these methods search the flash drive for all Score.lc files, even those on deeply buried folders. If more than one Score.lc file is found, you can examine the contents of each by clicking the down arrow next to the BROWSE button. A flash drive whose scores have been recorded has its name displayed in lower case.
After I've collected scores, I click SELECTED EXERCISES to display just the exercises I assigned. I click EVERY STUDENT to display scores from every student, and I click VIEW SCORE COLLECTION FILE. I click LEVEL (under the TOOLS menu) to make sure that 7 is the expected scoring level. Then I click PRINT to preview a score report that lists the students, what exercises they did, and their resulting bonus or penalty. If it all looks right, I again click PRINT to get a neat printout of student scores.
The score report will mirror your current settings. So you can generate a score report for every student, or just one student; for all exercises, or just selected exercises; and based on a student score-file, or a score collection file. Generally you'll want a score report for every student, for selected exercises, and based on a score collection file.
LogiSkor has three listboxes at the top, the first two listing student names and exercises. You can set these two to display in various ways:
- You can have the exercise listbox display scores from EVERY STUDENT or just ONE STUDENT (click the name of the student whose scores you want to display).
- You can have the exercise listbox display ALL EXERCISES or just SELECTED EXERCISES.
- You can have the information be based on a specific STUDENT SCORE.LC FILE (for example, a score file on a USB flash drive or one just sent by e-mail) or on your SCORE COLLECTION FILE.
To delete a student from the SCORE COLLECTION FILE (perhaps a student who dropped your course), highlight the student's name and hit the DELETE key; you will be asked to confirm the deletion.
The third listbox at the top displays USB flash drives. These display when you insert them. To display a flash drive that is already inserted when you start LogiSkor, remove the flash drive and then insert it again. (In Macintosh, eject it properly before removing it.) As mentioned above, you can use AUTORECORD or else double-click a flash drive or else single-click a flash drive and then click RECORD. LogiCola will record every Score.lc from every folder of a flash drive, and then put the drive's name in lower case to show that its scores have been recorded.
On occasion, you might want to browse for a folder containing a Score.lc file; then you can click the BROWSE button to find the desired folder, and then click RECORD. You might do this, for example, if you want to record a specific Score.lc file from a flash drive without recording ALL the Score.lc files on a flash drive. You'll might never need to do this.
If somehow the flash drive doesn't show on the list, just type its letter followed by ':' (like 'F:) and click RECORD. If you type 'F:' instead, then LogiSkor will just search the root directory for the Score.lc file.
If your flash drive is 'F,' then a Windows or Linux flash drive will generally have the score file on a 'F:LC' folder, while a Macintosh flash drive may have it there or at 'F:' or at 'F:logicola.appcontentsresourcesdrive_cprogram fileslogicolalc' (sometimes with a duplicate at 'F:logicola.appdrive_cprogram fileslogicolalc'). But you'll generally not have to worry about this, since you'll just have LogiSkor record ALL the Score.lc files on a flash drive.
The instructor's SCORE COLLECTION FILE is initially named 'Data.lco,' and you could just keep it that way. Cean photo frame nokla 5233. Then at the beginning of a new semester, you'll want to erase the old 'Data.lco' file that had scores from the previous semester's students.
- There's no command for saving score collection files, since these are saved automatically when you add student scores to them.
- If you want to create a new score collection file, type a suitable name (e.g., 'Fall12' or 'Fall 2012 logic classes') in the score-collection-file box; the '.lco' ending will be added if you don't type it. If you've used various score collection files, you can switch between these files by clicking the down arrow.
- If you want to keep score collection files in a folder of your own choosing, then click the OPEN button. This brings up a file browser where you can travel to other folders and open their score collection files or create new such files (by typing a new name in the little box).
- If LogiSkor isn't running, you can click an '.lco' score collection file to load it into LogiSkor. (If you click a student 'Score.lc' file, it instead brings up a little dialog box from LogiCola for viewing or printing the scores.)
LogiSkor's menu bar has various commands:
- FILE MENU:
- PRINT: Previews the score report and gives various printing options. The score report mirrors how you set things up -- for example, to list all exercises (or only selected ones), to include all students (or only one), and to be based on your score collection file (or on individual student Score.lc files).
- EXIT: Quit the program.
- TOOLS MENU:
- LEVEL: Lets you specify an expected scoring level (I use 7). LogiSkor calculates a bonus or penalty on this basis. The bonus/penalty = the first digit of the student's average level (on assigned exercises) minus the expected level. For example, if Jones has an average level of 8.7 and the expected level is 5, then the bonus is +3 points.
- HELP BALLOONS: Lets you turn these off once you know how the program operates.
- BIG WINDOW: Lets you choose between a smaller and a larger size window for LogiSkor. The larger size is useful if you have students insert flash drives in 'Autorecord' mode where they remove their drive when they see their name appear.
- CLOUD SYNC: Lets you sync configuration info (in the LogiSkor.ini file) and LogiSkor score collections (files ending in '.lco') between various computers.
- UPDATE: Checks if you have the latest version of the program. If you need to update LogiSkor, you can then do so by just clicking YES.
- RUN LOGICOLA: This displays if you have LogiCola in the same folder.
- HELP MENU:
- HELP: Gives you the help file you are now reading.
- ABOUT: Gives you the 'about box,' which displays the current version, program folders, and important Web addresses.

Download LogiCola
LogiCola is a program to help students learn logic. It was last modified on 11 September 2019. If you ever have problems updating the program within LogiCola, just come back to this page to re-install it.
For Macintosh users, is LogiCola compatible with the new Catalina operating system (MacOS 10.15)? Click here to find out.Click here to install LogiCola on Macintosh (or, better yet, first print out the directions);
or click here to install LogiCola on Linux.
To install LogiCola in Windows:
CLICK HERE
CLICK HERE
After you click, you'll be asked: Do you want to RUN or SAVE this file? Click RUN; and keep insisting, if asked, that yes you do want to run this file. You may have to click your way around warnings; for example, if you see 'Windows Defender prevented this unrecognized app from starting,' then click 'more info' and then 'run anyway.' Soon this dialog box will appear:
After you install LogiCola, click the cola-can icon to start the program: If you installed to your flash drive, open it using MY COMPUTER so you can get to the LogiCola icon. | LogiCola | If you installed to your computer, the icon will be on your desktop or Start menu/page program list. |
BOOK: LogiCola goes with Gensler's Introduction to Logic (Routledge 2017, 2010, 2002). Click here or here to order. Click here for information about the third ediion.
HANDOUT: https://forcetree.weebly.com/download-mac-osx-high-sierra-installer.html. Here's a handout about downloading LogiCola that teachers can give to their students; you can print this on one sheet of paper (using both sides) and it covers installing LogiCola on both Windows and Macintosh computers (and so it replaces the separate Windows and Macintosh handouts).
TOUCHSCREENS AND TABLETS: You can do LogiCola using only touch, or using mouse-and-keyboard. LogiCola works nicely on Window tablets.
CLOUD SYNC: If you want to install LogiCola on multiple computers (not on a flash drive) and keep LogiCola scoring and configuration data in sync on all these computers, install a free Dropbox on each computer's desktop and turn on Cloud Sync using LogiCola's OPTIONS menu.
FURTHER UPDATES: If LogiCola is updated, you can repeat the setup process to update your program. But it's easier for you to update using TOOLS | UPDATE LOGICOLA on LogiCola's menu bar. Updating either way preserves your scores.
NON-WEB INSTALL: You can install LogiCola directly to a flash drive from any computer that has LogiCola installed; use TOOLS | COPY SCORES OR PROGRAM TO FLASH DRIVE on LogiCola's menu bar. Or you can just copy the LogiCola.exe program file to another computer (for example, to the desktop).
WINDOWS VERSIONS: The current Windows LogiCola should work with Windows XP-Vista-7-8-or-10, whether 32- or 64-bit. For earlier Windows or DOS, use these zipped forms of the 2003 LogiCola and its score processing program, which use the same score format.
MACINTOSH & LINUX: You can also run LogiCola in Macintosh or Linux.iPads: You can run LogiCola on an iPad (or even an iPhone or iPod Touch) using a 'remote server.' Open the app store, get the free PocketCloud app, and follow the directions to set up PocketCloud on a Windows computer (on which you install LogiCola). Then you can run LogiCola on your iPad through this remote computer; however it's very slugglish and each remote computer can service only one iPad at a time. But could this basic idea over time evolve into something more usable?
BLACKBOARD: Olympus dss player pro download mac. You can set up Blackboard so students can submit scores as WebCT assignments; see Chris Weigand's YouTube video and written instructions.
SHIRTS:Get a LogiCola shirt (many styles available).
YOUNGER SISTER: LogiCola has a younger sister, EthiCola, about moral philosophy.CHROMEBOOKS and ANDROID DEVICES: I've had reports that LogiCola (and most other Windows programs) run on Chromebooks and Android devices that use an Intel processor if you install the beta version of Codeweaver's CrossOver on Chrome app. I haven't tried this myself.

Different parts can be used in a range of logic courses, from basic introductions to graduate courses. The teachers manual and the end of Chapter 1 both talk about which chapters fit which type of course. Earlier Routledge editions appeared in 2002 and 2011. Features included (a) clear, concise writing; (b) engaging arguments from philosophy and everyday life; (c) simpler ways to test arguments, including an innovative proof method and the syllogism star-test; (d) the widest range of materials of any logic text; (e) high suitability for self-study and preparation for tests like the LSAT; (f) a reasonable price (a third that of some competitors); and (g) the free companion LogiCola instructional program (which randomly generates problems, gives feedback on answers, provides help and explanations, and records progress). I'm happy with how earlier editions were received, often with lavish praise.
I improved this third edition in many ways. I went through the book, making explanations clearer and more concise. I especially worked on areas that students find difficult, such as (to give a few examples) why 'all A is B' and 'some A is not B' are contradictories (§2.4), deriving syllogistic conclusions (§2.5), the transition from inference rules to formal proofs (§§6.10-13 & 7.1), how to evaluate formulas in quantificational logic (§§8.3 & 8.5), how to translate 'exactly one' and 'exactly two' in identity logic (§9.1), multiple-quantifier translations and endless-loop refutations in relational logic (§§9.4-9.5), when to drop a necessary formula into the actual world in modal logic (§10.2), and how inference rules work in belief logic (§13.2). I expanded sections on traditional Copi proofs (§§7.5, 8.6, and 9.7, urged on by reviewers) and truth trees (§7.6, urged on by my friend Séamus Murphy), for teachers who might also want to teach these methods or have students learn them on their own for additional credit (as I do). 'For Further Reading' now mentions further sections of the book that an advanced student might want to pursue while doing specific chapters; for example, the Basic Propositional Logic chapter goes well with sections on metalogic, deviant logic, and philosophy of logic. I didn't substantially change exercise sections. Despite additions, the book is now six pages shorter.
The book now has a very nice Kindle e-book version, with real page numbers, based on a second version of the manuscript that I made with simplified formatting. And yes, you can add your own highlighting and notes.
I improved the companion LogiCola software, which runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Cloud Sync allows syncing scores between various computers. Proofs have a Training Wheels option; this gives hints about what to derive (it might bold lines 4 and 7 and ask '4 is an IF-THEN; do you have the first part true or the second part false?') - hints disappear as your score builds up. Touch features let LogiCola be done using only touch, only mouse and keyboard, or any combination of these; touch works nicely on Windows tablets or touch-screen monitors. Quantificational translations have a Hints option; this gives Loglish hints about how to translate English sentences (for 'All Italians are lovers' it might say 'For all x, if x is Italian then x is a lover') - hints disappear as your score builds up. There are exercises for Copi proofs and truth trees; to process scores from these, your LogiSkor program needs a version date of at least January 2016. And the Macintosh setup is easier. LogiCola (with a score-processing program, teachers manual, class slides, flash cards, and sample quizzes) can be downloaded for free from http://www.harryhiker.com/lc or http://www.harrycola.com/lc. All supplementary materials are conveniently accessible from LogiCola's HELP menu; so I suggest that you just install LogiCola (teachers should check the option to install the score processor too).
https://multimediayola.weebly.com/scansnap-s1300i-driver-download-mac.html. I wish to thank all who have somehow contributed to this third edition. I thank Andy Beck at Routledge and his staff and reviewers, who made good suggestions. I thank my logic students, especially those whose puzzled looks pushed me to make things clearer. And I thank the many teachers, students, and self-learners who e mailed me, often saying things like 'I love the book and software, but there's one thing I have trouble with .' If this third edition is a genuine improvement, then there are many people to thank besides me.

'Equal parts eloquent and instructive, Gensler has once again provided an invaluable resource for those looking to master the fundamental principles of logic. The Third Edition improves upon an already exceptional text by infusing the introduction of new concepts with enhanced clarity, rendering even the most challenging material a joy to teach. The updated LogicCola program is sure to become an indispensable component of my own introductory course.'

'This Third Edition improves on a book that was already superb. I have used Gensler's book to teach introductory courses in logic to undergraduate philosophers and linguists, and the response from the students has always been positive. They appreciate its clear explanation and the wealth of examples and practice opportunities it provides. In particular, the translation exercises help to refine logico-semantic intuitions. The supporting LogiCola software, which is feely downloadable, is a great support tool.'
Mark Jary, University of Roehampton, UK
'The Third Edition is an improved version of an already excellent introduction to logic. Gensler's Reductio proof procedure enables a seamless transition from elementary propositional logic to quantification theory and more advanced modal logics. Macos sierra for seniors cover. Many of the exercises involve formulations of philosophical problems. The explanations of advanced topics have been greatly improved. The upgraded LogiCola program now supports alternative proof procedures. This book is a winner!'
