Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: understand and explain key notions of propositional calculus (tautology, entailment, formal language, axiomatization, formal proof); apply formal techniques controlling whether a formula is a tautology or whether an argument is valid; apply formal techniques (equivalent transformations, normal forms, proving by means of Gentzen's sequential calculus); apply such techniques to ordinary reasoning (negations or equivalences of sentences, validity of an argument)

Assessment methods
After the first term there is a credit test (after the second there is an exam - its first part written, the second part oral). This credit test has 10 questions. A third of it checks the students's acquaintance with theoretical notions and two thirds of it chec student's practical skills such as negations of sentences or controlling the validity of arguments.
