For teachers

The poster pairs with the entries themselves. Each item on it has a short URL, so a student who wants the full explanation, the worked example, and the counter-example can get there in one step. Every entry also has a section on how to fix the argument, which tends to be more useful in a seminar than a list of things not to do.

There's also a ten-question quiz that includes two arguments which are perfectly sound, so it tests judgment rather than pattern-matching.

Printing notes

  • The PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at any size. It's set up at 24 x 36 inches.
  • Scaling down to 18 x 24 or A2 works fine. Below roughly 18 x 24 the definitions get tight.
  • Print shops can use the PDF directly. The PNG is sized for screens and web use rather than printing.

Last regenerated August 28, 2026. The poster is generated from the live entry list, so it stays in sync as entries are added.
