First- and second-level American History. Each class succeeding year, I suspect, some of the students took the course just to sit in on the fallacies section. We used David Hackett Fischer's Historian's Fallacies and Copi's text to narrow some of the fallacies more precisely to history throughout the history course.

I taught Informal and formal fallacies as part of my history classes. While formal and informal fallacies are an important first step, you should consider taking a collegiate-level logic course. Of course, one may study on his own, if you can focus and set aside time to do so; but a rigorous classroom course improves one's ability to transfer the nuances of logic to real life.
