½ credit course with option to be a full credit if taking the additional Logic component in Spring 2019
Creative thinking involves searching for meaningful new connections by generating many unusual, original, and varied possibilities, as well as details that expand or enrich possibilities. Critical thinking, on the other hand, involves examining possibilities carefully, fairly, and constructively—focusing your thoughts and actions by organizing and analyzing possibilities. Effective problem solvers must think both creatively and critically, generating options and focusing their thinking. In this course, students will generate new ideas using both types of thinking and discuss a variety of topics intelligently by constructing well-reasoned arguments on a variety of topics. The course will focus on group discussion and written analysis.
