Assessing Arguments
About this course
Take your analytical skills to the next level by learning to deconstruct arguments, identify subtle fallacies, and expose faulty reasoning. You will explore how to properly weigh evidence, moving beyond surface-level patterns to differentiate between coincidence, correlation, and true causation. Applying these techniques will empower you to challenge weak claims and build compelling, evidence-based positions in any academic or professional field.
