Myedu.com works great for picking out classes too. Has info on most schools and gives breakdown on the amount of as, bs ect. percentage-wise that professors give out in each of their classes.RZ5646 wrote:First, the battle in this thread is hilarious.
Second, I'd say taking a logic class could be somewhat beneficial.
If you're taking an intro class, it will be a weird mix of philosophy majors and kids who suck at math and think logic is an easier way of fulfilling their math requirement. That means it will probably be an easy A. If it's an upper level class, it could be extremely difficult, and not an easy A at all. Use caution and consult ratemyprofessor.com before signing up for such a class.
Now it's true that you're not going to be doing formal proofs or discussing number theory, the philosophy math, etc., on the LSAT, but I do think those activities sharpen your mind, and that will benefit you both on the LSAT and in life generally.
I disagree with the "it's like taking Latin for the SAT" analogy. OP probably means some "intro to logic" course that should be super easy for anyone who's mentally equipped for law school. Even if he means an advanced course, that's still not as arduous as studying a high school language for years.
So, is a logic course a substitute for LSAT prep? Absolutely not. But if you need another class and it fits in your schedule, you might as well take it. It's not going to hurt, and it will help at least a little bit.
I also wtf'd on the fight going on.
