Description

Enhance your critical thinking skills through this class. The ability to think critically differs in varying degrees from person to person depending upon many factors including upbringing, education and experience. Fortunately, the skills involved in critical thinking can be developed and enhanced through study and practice. True critical thinking is a lifetime endeavor that makes us active learners instead of passive receivers of information. This class will break down some of the most basic skills involved in the critical thinking process, explain each one and offer instruction on how to develop each skill. The goal is to help each student identify, analyze and solve problems systematically rather than simply by instinct or intuition. The ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking helps us all decipher fake news or information from truth. Now more than ever we can all use better skills in critical thinking. Critical thinking skills are essential to help guide us to a more scientific, truthful and more thoughtful approach to our life and business. Some benefits of critical thinking are the ability to: Identify inconsistencies and errors in reasoningApproach problems in a consistent and systematic wayUnderstand the links between ideasReflect on the justification of one's own assumptions, beliefs and valuesCreative problem solvingAbout the teacher: Entrepreneur and adventurer!
