Fact or Fiction: Critical Thinking & Collaboration (1/8/24 MW 330 PM EST)


Description
Critical Thinking is using reason to examine all the information before making an informed decision or opinion. We will examine media and information sources and look at how different people and websites present the same information in different ways. How do you know if you're getting the whole story? We'll also practice listening to and understanding people who we don't agree with. We'll look for common ground and ways to communicate and collaborate.

This course will run from 1/8-2/11/2024
Seminars will meet on Mondays & Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 PM EST

Instructor: Sara Brown, SBrown@pslstrive.org
