Critical Thinking

Catalog description

An introduction to logic, including inductive and deductive systems of inference and a study of common fallacies discovered in editorials, textbooks, political speeches and advertisements. Because students gain an understanding of how to communicate their ideas more effectively and to evaluate language and the ideas of others, this course helps prepare them for subsequent coursework in most disciplines, for problem-solving in any profession and for analytic assessments such as those required prior to entrance to graduate school.
