What do they teach you in Critical Thinking & Problem Solving 147 Class?

The course title and number are specific to your school.

Sounds like a mix of formal logic and "informal" logic (critical thinking) where you learn about why a statement supports an argument or does not.

For example, a common tactic in arguments is to make an "ad hominem" attack such as "no, the sky is not blue because you're a dirty Commie!". Ad hominem is latin for "against the man," and means to try to disprove another point of view by attacking a person instead of their evidence.

That might be the nicest and most helpful response to an asinine question ever.







Are you sure you're a lifer?
