Class Experience

Children naturally make decisions based on gut instinct and are often influenced by the views of the peers.  

This course is a first step to teaching learners to think for themselves and make well-reasoned, logical decisions? It will equip them with the tools and techniques they need to approach problem-solving and decision-making in a more thoughtful and effective way.

Through engaging lessons and interactive exercises, your learner will begin to approach complex issues from multiple perspectives and think creatively to generate new ideas and solutions. In later courses that will attempt to identify and evaluate arguments, spot logical fallacies, and develop their own arguments supported by evidence and sound reasoning. 

Critical thinking is about being able to make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and solve problems more efficiently.
