Critical thinking, the key to problem solving
A persuasive business case, an impressive college essay, a winning legal argument — you can’t get rewarding results like these without logical reasoning skills.
Like a mobile phone, most people use logic frequently but rarely reflect on how it works. This course will change everything.
Logic-driven activities like analysis and problem solving are incredibly important to employers right now. Meanwhile, exams like the SAT, GMAT, GRE and LSAT are mostly about your ability to think systematically — even the math.
Learn from lawyers
This course is team-taught by a legal editor and a practicing attorney. After two weeks you’ll be able to reliably parse relatively complex arguments by untangling the conclusion from the supporting points. By the end of the course, you’ll soon be able to intelligently discuss how a given argument is supposed to work; and whether or not it actually does.
Great writing practice
As real-world problems are too complex to analyze in your head, reasoning and writing almost always go hand in hand. Even fiction writers have to be good critical thinkers, since readers have little patience for stories that don’t make sense. So please expect a lot of solid writing practice when you sign up for this course.
