You will read the course syllabus, if you haven't already

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a simple true/false statement and asks you to evaluate it against the options provided.
Option 1: 'True' — The statement 'You will read the course syllabus, if you haven't already' can be interpreted as a conditional plan: if you have not yet done so, you will read the syllabus. In many course contexts, this is a reasonable expectation or commitment, making the statement plausible and logically coherent as a true assessment of a typical intention or policy.
Option 2: 'False' — Claiming this statement is false would require arguing that the conditional plan is never the case or that you will not read the syllabus under any circumstance. This is overly strong and contradicted by common educational practices where students are encouraged or required to read the syllabus before starting. The statement does not assert an universal negation; it asserts a conditional action, which can be true in practice.
In reasoning about true/false items, it helps to separate the literal structure from real-world behavior: a conditional about future action can be true even if not everyone adheres to it, and the sentence itself does not contain a logical contradiction. Therefore, the option labeling the statement as True captures the intended factual or normative content of the sentence, while labeling it False would imply an absolute negate of the conditional plan, which is not warranted by the wording.
