About
The course is built around practical skills and problem-solving strategies in various areas. It covers logical analysis of information, avoiding logical fallacies and cognitive biases, making more effective decisions, working with emotions, developing useful habits, and strengthening metacognitive skills to apply what you've learned at the right moment. Each topic includes a brief theoretical introduction, followed by review questions and practical exercises. The course has this title because it is likely more challenging than most others here, requires independent effort, and consists of approximately 90% practice. However, it is through this practice that you can develop real skills and begin applying them. You can work through the course at your own pace. Upon completion, you will be able to improve your thinking and apply not only the course skills more effectively but also many others. This course provides a foundation in critical thinking, giving you the base to decide where to go next. Since scientific thinking is closely related to critical thinking, this course will be especially valuable for anyone involved in any kind of research.
