G125 Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills

This module introduces students to the basic concepts of logical and critical thinking.

Students will learn to consume information, media, and news critically and identify flaws in arguments. This enables students to recognise that critical thinking influences the way they make decisions, solve problems, and interact with people who embody different opinions, life experiences, and cultures. The module also exposes students to the basic tenets of systems thinking, which helps to develop their ability to analyse, evaluate, and tackle complex problems in the world they live in.
