About Course

Critical thinking helps you slow down just enough to ask whether a conclusion is supported. Learn to separate facts from assumptions, assess sources, compare options, and recognize uncertainty. Examples include online claims, workplace recommendations, and everyday choices where a clear decision process matters more than a quick answer.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Prepare a decision brief for a fictional problem using evidence, alternatives, assumptions, and a review of possible consequences.
