Course Description
Research shows that the best way to improve critical thinking is to make visual diagrams of arguments. This course uses a fun, evidence-based tool called MindMup. Using this tool, the course will help you discover hidden patterns among concepts where you once saw only confusing words. You will learn to identify each author's central contention, their reasons for defending it, and the rebuttals they offer to objections raised against it. By collaborating with others, you will learn how to decide for yourself whether an argument is sound by designing a practice exercise specific to your major.
