Synopsis

Critical thinking and problem solving skills are attributes that USQ affirms its graduates should have acquired upon completion of their degree. This course is aimed directly at fostering those skills. This is done by examining the topic from a range of perspectives. The techniques of critical thinking and problem solving are explicitly taught. In addition, the issue of bias and other types of cognitive limitations that produce erroneous solutions are also examined.
