This course aims to help learners to improve their critical thinking awareness and competence by introducing skills from basic listening and note-taking skills to building arguments with different types of reasoning, evaluating arguments, identifying fallacies and offering refutations, and other relevant skills needed for effective learning and critical thinking.
Learners are encouraged to read extensively on the issues covered in the course and those of their own interests. Hopefully, their skills in logical thinking, doing research, effective communication, and their awareness of cross-cultural communication and autonomous learning will be improved through well-scheduled learning and active engagement in forum discussions.
