That was one of my favorite classes back in community college. I still 
have the textbook here somewhere: Attacking Faulty Reasoning, Wadsworth 
Publishing. I read it occasionally to try and keep refreshed on 
syllogisms, equivocations, and other fallacies.

I couldn't ever stomach psychology though. Probably just because of the 
department at my university. They had such an inferiority complex with 
the natural sciences that they pushed the school into making them a 
department in the college of natural sciences instead of the college of 
human sciences.
