Learning outcomes

Critical thinking is an intellectual process that has the ability to examine any belief or presumption in the light of evidence that supports or refutes it. Critical thinking makes it possible to search for problems and seek information on how to solve them, or to find out whether or not there are logical relationships between statements and vulnerabilities that may lead to a conclusion, or generalizations and removals, in order to search for objective truth. The aim of the course is to deepen students' critical thinking. Introducing students to how we like our attitudes, who have changed them and what causes them to sleep outside, we believe.
