Description

Critical thinking is not negative thinking. Rather, it is careful thinking. This 12-weeks course teaches students a wide variety of tools for reasoning in both business context and daily life. It starts with some basic principles of logic-on what arguments are and how to evaluate them to see if they are rationally persuasive. The tools this course covers include Mill’s methods, rules of inferences, and how to identify common fallacies of reasoning. The skills taught are highly valued in the business world, and include an enhanced ability to assess information and arguments critically and think independently about them. This is a course for every business student.
