Having good critical thinking skills is a necessity in our current society. What is true? What is real? People are always trying to convince us to buy their products or their ideas. This class is about how we can make the best decisions based on what we know from scientific research. We will explore topics together looking at what is factual information and what is opinion. There will be a heavy emphasis on logical biases and psychology. This class extends over the whole year with different topics in the fall and in the spring. We will have a one hour presentation online with a PowerPoint filled with links that will be sent to everyone after that class.
