The key objective of this course is to build your intuition and critical thinking skills by applying logic in the field of social sciences.
Intuition is the ability to understand or deduce something without using reason to discover it; it is your gut-feeling conclusion. Intuition is an essential life skill since we are often asked to make quick decisions in our personal and professional lives. However, making quick, incorrect decisions is easy when such skills are not honed. To build them, one needs to invest time and energy into developing a critical bend of the mind. Critical thinking involves analyzing available facts, evidence, arguments, and observations to derive a conclusion.
Moreover, one should use logical reasoning to analyze the premise and draw conclusions. Repeatedly exercising critical thinking and logical reasoning can develop good intuition. This course aims to put you on a lifelong journey of utilizing and developing such skills.
