MOOC=massive online open courses (free and open to everyone)
A mathematical philosophy course on Coursera started today for those of you interested in sharpening your logic for the LSAT. It involves basic math and a lot of argumentation.

So what you're saying is it is useless for the LSAT?

What a logical jump here...
You'd have to assume that basic math and lots of argumentation are both useless for the LSAT. But since arguments are a staple on the lsat it seems unlikely that it won't be at least a little useful.

The applicable stuff will be covered in the first half of the first day, the rest will be useless and possibly hurtful. There are much better and equally free ways to learn the logic needed.

I thought this was quite f'ing funny and that's it.
