Q. about MP's Classical Rhetoric course

[LisaNY]

Is it possible to use the Classical Rhetoric course w/a 9th gr. student without first using Traditional Logic?

I am also interested in using this for self-study, so I pose the same q. here as above.

Thank you!

Normally, we recommend that a student take Logic before Rhetoric. A student might have difficulty with some of the material if they have not had Traditional Logic I and II.

Thanks!

Lisa,

At that age, I would strongly recommend taking the logic first.

Thank you, Mr. Cothran. Would it be okay for me to use if I haven't first used the Traditional Logic course?

Yes. The material in Rhetoric does not require a knowledge of the logic, it is just a matter of difficulty level.
