Critical Thinking and Collaboration

Catalog description

This course will complement your courses on data by exploring how the human mind works, including when it works well and when we are systematically misled by our own cognitive failures. Building on psychology and behavioral economics, this course will help you to develop insights about why decisions can go wrong and what tools you can use to make better decisions. Often times, the best approach to overcoming individual shortcomings is to collaborate with others. However, collaboration has its own challenges. You will also be introduced to the elements of a good team process, and address why 'constructive conflict' is important in teams. This course is for MQM: Business Analytics students.
