Logic 2, Spring 2025

On this page, you may find the specifics to the Logic 2 course. You may find on the general Logic courses page detailed information on lecture notes, communication and grading, which apply to both this and the Logic 1 course. In particular make sure to study the Logic Rondo lecture notes before the lectures.

The course will be organised as follows. Throughout the semester, there are 6 lectures and 6 exercise classes, see the Course Schedule for details. You will have to submit homework assignments and the grade of the homework will make 30% of your final grade and the course will end with an exam, which makes 70% of your final grade, see the Exam times section below. You will have to have a passing grade for both the exam and the final grade. Details can be found on the common Logic page.
