Critical thinking, decision-making, & problem-solving

About this course

If you want to improve your critical thinking skills, this is a great place to start. This course includes three sections. The first section provides an overview of critical thinking, decision-making, & problem-solving skills. It explains how these crucial soft skills work together and build upon each other. The section also offers practical ways to improve each skill and explains why these soft skills are so important to employers.The second section features a lecture on critical reading strategies. Even if you're not a student, this section will help you as you review reports, utilize research and facts sheets, and prepare proposals in the workplace. Ultimately, you don't want to waste time reading--and this lecture will help you find practical strategies to help you make the best use of your time reading.Lastly, you'll find a section on logical fallacies. I included this because if you can't recognize faulty approaches to arguing, you will never be a true critical thinker or critical reader. You'll recognize these fallacies in everything you read, in speeches you hear, and in marketing and advertising efforts after you review this section. You'll be able to make much better decisions if you can recognize and argue against these 14 primary logical fallacies.Ready to dig in and become a more critical thinker, a better decision maker, and a more thoughtful problem solver? Let's get started.Be sure to check out other courses on soft skills and workplace improvement by Bethany Wallace on Udemy.
