Course Name: LOGIC AND CRITICAL THINKING
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The most fundamental question of logic is this: Given any two statements, does the one
follow from the other? Thus, the “follows from” or “entailment” relation is central to the
study of logic. The course is not about how people actually reason a subject more appropriate
for psychology or sociology but how one should and should not reason. At the very least, the
object is to introduce students to some of the necessary features of sound reasoning through a
study of both its formal and informal features. Hence, the course has a strong normative
component. Thus, in addition to thinking of logic as the study of entailment, one could think
of it as the study of the difference between good and poor reasoning, particularly as these are
exemplified in arguments.
Critical thinking is good writing skills, is necessary not only to a well-rounded education, but
also to getting along well in one’s private and professional life. Logic alone is not the same as
critical thinking. Moreover, one can no more expect critical thinking to be taught in a single
course than one would expect good writing or effective speaking skills to be taught in a single
course. On the other hand, thinking cannot be “critical” if it violates elementary logical
norms. The discipline of logic brings one to awareness of logic’s norms, and can thereby be
one’s best friend in the attempt to think critically.
LEARNING OUTCOME
1. Students should be able to make distinctions among and identify (a) the truth or falsity of
beliefs and the truth or falsity of statements (b) the truth or falsity of statements and the
validity or invalidity arguments, (c) the emotional appeal of an argument and its logical
force, (d) deduction and induction, (e) arguments and explanations, (f) decision
procedures and proofs.
2. Students should be able to (a) test the validity of arguments using Venn diagrams, truth
tables, and truth trees and (b) construct formal proofs using rules of inference and rules of
equivalence. In order to develop these skills it will be necessary to learn the fundamental
principles of elementary term logic and elementary propositional (or sentential) logic.
3. Students should appreciate the roles of both deduction and induction in science, including
the ways in which these forms of reasoning are used and abused in pseudo-science.
Particularly relevant to these questions is learning to mark the distinction between
auxiliary and ad hoc hypotheses.

COURSE DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVES:
In the wake of recent financial crisis, monetary system has grown out of historical
circumstances. Economic analysis convinces us that to some extent our institutions cannot be
other than what they are. For example, we may not have to use paper currency, but clearly
some kind of medium of exchange is essential to run any economic system. Once
conventions establish themselves as institutions, they dictate what purposes in fact can be
served. An important objective of this course is to investigate the principal financial
institutions involved in our macro economy.
This course provides an overall perspective on the monetary and financial institutions.
Monetary institutions can only be understood if one knows the magnitudes of the economic
variables associated with them.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course it is expected that the student will be able to understand:
1. The concept of the money, money demand & supply

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The objective of this course is to provide a thorough introduction to the fundamental
principles of asset valuation and financing in competitive financial markets. The course
examines the important issues in corporate finance from a perspective of financial managers
who need to make significant investment and financing decisions. We start with the NPV
rule, which leads us to the valuation of debt and equity. We then investigate the efficient
market hypothesis and examine the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the portfolio
theories in such a market. We also learn to use the NPV rule to justify capital investment
decisions. Option pricing will be the last step in our venture into the world of corporate
finance. While this course is not designed to teach an abstract mathematical theory of modern
financial economics, a basic theoretical understanding of various topics is essential to
competent analysis and intellectual discussion. Furthermore, in examining issues in portfolio
diversification, knowledge of basic statistics and spreadsheets will be essential and assumed.
Prerequisite: Statistics. Co-requisite: Financial Accounting and/or Managerial Economics.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this course students will be able;
1. To evaluate and formulate effective working capital polices to be cash efficient in day to
