Abstract
When in 1987 I first took John Corcoran’s Introduction to Logic for Advanced Students seminar as a graduate student in philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo, I entered it with considerable fear and trembling. Logic had never been a strong point of mine, and John’s reputation on campus was that of a fierce taskmaster. Little did I realize at the time that I would not only love the course, but that it would have a profound impact upon my own thinking and teaching right up to the present day.
