PHRE 1400 - Argumentation and Critical Thinking

Hours: 3
From social media to legal briefs, from scientific articles to college essays, and from political speeches to the family dinner table, our lives are full of arguments. This course will teach students the principles of good argumentation. Students will learn how to critically analyze arguments they encounter and how to construct cogent arguments of their own. Students will learn not only how to write persuasive arguments, but how to argue charitably and respectfully with others whose views on contentious social issues differ from their own. Students will be able to apply what they learn in this course to writing in other college classes and to their lives beyond the classroom.
Notes: Eligible to be taken as pass/fail.
