LogicCoach 10
All the great features of LogicCoach 9 plus all the terrific new exercises found in the tenth edition of Patrick Hurley’s A Concise Introduction to Logic. LogicCoach is the most complete computer access to the Hurley exercises and the evaluation of the work done to answer them. No other program for the Hurley text does anywhere near as much!
