The Socratic dialogue style aims to stimulate critical thinking.

We report a four-years experiment in teaching reasoning to undergraduate students, ranging from weak to gifted, using GentzenPrawitz’s style natural deduction. We argue that this pedagogical approach is a good alternative to the use of Boolean algebra for teaching reasoning, especially for computer scientists and formal methods practioners.
