PH 303 - Introduction to Critical Thinking

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This course is now raised to PH 303 and can serve as an upper division elective in the liberal arts. An important feature of this course is its concern not only for developing the student’s ability to assess the operative logic of language that purports to instruct or attempts to persuade, but also with cultivating in the student the subtler skill of discerning the underlying assumptions and motives of a given text. These skills could have direct application to performance on standardized tests such as the GMAT or LSAT and other similar examinations which are required of students applying to graduate schools.
