Description
This course is designed to engage students in a discussion of the importance of thinking critically rather than just accepting the assessment of others. It will teach students a set of skills to enhance critical thinking and provide exercises designed to practice these skills. In an era dominated by social media, instant access to information, and emerging use of AI, accepting information without reflecting on its validity can lead to poor decision making, opinions not based on accurate evidence, inability to troubleshoot causes, and failure to accurately evaluate alternatives.
