HON 101 - Critical Thinking
You are what you think. Whatever you are doing, whatever you feel, whatever you want are all determined by the quality of your thinking. Strategic thinking requires thinking about thinking. This course teaches you how to become a better critical thinking by raising the awareness level of the importance of developing second-order thinking. Critical thinking requires data collection, processing, analysis, evaluation and decision making. This is a complex process that must be understood before it can be practice effectively. In judging the performance of leaders, the evaluation is invariably reduced to one question: how many successful decisions have been made by the leader? The sina qua non of good leadership is a track record of decision success. This course is an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the critical thinking and problem solving process that results in good strategic decisions.
