Critical Thinking and Analysis
Examines verbal and visual communication methods to evaluate source material, distinguish objective facts from false narratives, and form valid arguments.
This course examines the various ways in which the presentation of information, in both words and visual representations, can be used to relate factual and objective accounts or to create factually inaccurate or intentionally false information. The emphasis is on learning to analyze source material to create opinions based on valid assumptions and information. Two hours per week in the second semester.
