Description
Class Experience
Students will enhance their critical thinking skills by having to debate stances with which they do not agree.
While I was earning my degree, I was required to write essays that argued for an opposing viewpoint than my own. This enhanced my critical thinking skills. I can see why others can come to a certain conclusion, and if I'm debating with them, I can acknowledge and refute it. It's a useful skill for academic achievement and for life in general. My major in college included focuses on film analysis and popular culture analysis, which is what I like to focus on in my Outschool classes. Watching and working with films has always been preferable/easier for me as a learner and as an educator because it is easier to focus on/process while still serving as an academic text to analyze. When I started teaching on Outschool, I wanted to appeal to learners with a similar learning style to my own.
