This course seeks to promote the skills needed for critical thinking and decision making. A critical thinker should be able to analyze solutions to a problem -- probing its strengths and weaknesses and comparing it to other alternatives. This process of deliberation leads to a selection of good alternatives and also a clear understanding of why a certain choice was made. This course will explore each concept of what it means to think about thinking.
