PSYC 102 Foundations in Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the process of evaluating our own beliefs as well as the beliefs of others. In this course, we will explore principles of critical thinking, focusing on topics including systemic biases in thinking, gullibility, foolishness, clarity, insight, and generally, why intelligent, rational people can make really bad decisions. We will focus specifically on how taking a scientific perspective on psychology sheds light on both the strengths and weaknesses of our thinking.
