+Dr. Thomas Land
+
+Course outline:
+Critical thinking is practical--have good reasons for the things you do.
+Assess when we have good reasons vs. when we don't. Social media as case study.
+Not exactly philosophy; won't deal with morality, epistemology, ontology, etc.
+One abstract question: "when do we have good reasons for belief?"
+Skill-based course. Critical thinking skills.
+Deductive vs. inductive reasoning. Common fallacies. Bias. Scientific reasoning.
+
+Learning outcomes:
+Assessing the credibility of claims, deciding which information to trust.
+Constructing arguments.
+Communication.
+Reading academic sources.
+
+Assigned study groups + group project.
