ALS461 : Critical thinking / Academy of Language Studies

The course focuses on developing the ability of the students to think critically, logically, and analytically in a wide range of problem-solving situations. They will be exposed to different criteria for evaluating information, establishing facts, making assumptions, and inferences, forming opinions, as well as developing, analysing, and evaluating arguments based on the principles of critical thinking. Students will develop their critical thinking skills through reading, speaking, and writing. They will also be able to discuss enduring and current issues and case studies. They will also participate actively in small group discussions which provide opportunities for reflective thinking and independent opinions.
