Would you take a Critical Thinking OR Symbolic Logic class?
>>7731098
No. Probably not.

Critical thinking is something you should have developed on your own as a child. Taking a class on critical thinking is like taking a class on breathing or walking. Only the most deficient individuals need it, and they are most likely so deficient that they cannot even learn from it.

this is the course description
>This course is designed to bring students to a critical awareness of the function of argumentation in the various forms it takes, both in the academic realm of logic, as well as the everyday world of television, newspapers, and other forms of communication. Students will examine how arguments are constructed and the means that are used to make an argument convincing. They will learn to critically analyze arguments in order to detect careless language use and fallacies. They will also learn various types of arguments. Students will be graded on weekly problem-solving homework assignments and re-writes, collaborative fallacy presentations, a mid-term exam, and a comprehensive final exam.
Critical Thinking will be plowing through bullshit arguments for the sake of arguing; Symbolic Logic will be the structure of "correct" arguments. They're both interesting (well, to me at least), I've taken symbolic logic and I'm taking critical thinking this spring semester.

One of the most worthless classes I ever took in my life.
>>7731098
I don't need a class to tell me how to think logically.

these are the kind of people who will never accomplish anything in life because they generalize high level accomplishments to being born with talent, rather than having studied everything needed to refine your own thinking skills.
i laugh at your spot on the ladder of contributions.
