the role that critical thinking principles play in good essay writing

how cognitive biases make us prone to errors in how we form beliefs and make judgments

For long-term success in school, business and life, learning HOW to think is far more important than learning WHAT to think.
Yet rather than serve as the core of any education worthy of a rational human being, we have relegated the teaching of logic, argument analysis and critical reasoning to specialty courses in universities that reach too few students, too late in their education.
In this course I share my growing understanding of these topics, with a focus on what is practically important and useful for developing as independent critical thinkers.
Currently the course contains over 200 videos totalling over 19 hours of viewing time!
Among the topics you will learn:
-
why critical thinking is important
-
the difference between logic and argumentation
-
what makes an argument good or bad
-
the importance of background knowledge for critical thinking
-
techniques of argument analysis and reconstruction
-
what our growing understanding of the human mind tells us about how we actually form beliefs and make decisions
-
how tribalism and political polarization affect our ability to think critically
-
how scientific debates often turn on the meanings of key terms, like “theory”, “law”, and “hypothesis”
-
how to reason about chance and uncertainty
-
how to write a good argumentative essay
-
how to cite sources and avoid plagiarism in your writing
and much more! This content is drawn from a variety of teaching resources I’ve developed over the past few years, including a video podcast.
It’s important for you to know that I am continuing to add videos and course modules on a regular basis. This course will continue to grow and grow — I have a LOT OF GROUND that I want to cover! This is ONLY THE BEGINNING!
Who this course is for:
- anyone who thinks that critical thinking is important and would like to learn more about it
- anyone who is required to think and write argumentatively
- anyone interested in the psychology of belief, judgment and persuasion
- anyone interested in philosophy and who would like to learn more about philosophical ideas and methods
- anyone taking a logic or philosophy class who would like to brush up on their basic logic and argumentation skills
- anyone interested in scientific debates, or the philosophy of science
- anyone interested in tribalism and contemporary politics

Karl Tharalson –
Excellent course. I found that some of my personality quirks are actually critical thinking. I also learned so much more. Thank you for an excellent course sir!
Julie Ovalle –
Yes, this course was an excellent match for the leadership/mentorship program I am involved in. What a huge eye-opening experience this has been! After a brief pause, I will listen to several sections a second time.
Anthony Thomas –
It was such an amazzing course Kevin! The sheer amount of work you have done to make a course like this is simply incredible. It truly is an eye-opener and also challenges a lot of fundamental beliefs, ideas and thoughts that we grew up as kids. Thanks Kevin for such an amazing content!

Wasn’t for me. (Just a long stroke. Dude likes to hear his own voice.)
James Sorum –
Some was very interesting and informative. Some seemed to go off the critical thinking subject
Mohammad Brojerdi –
The world would be a better place if children were introduced to these issues before they are abandoned to the polarizing hatred in social media.

Miliza Scarano –
I am doing this course to help me understand what I should be aware of when putting together a philosophy course I wish to teach, and also to better understand students questions and comments.
I’m find the course interesting, detailed and in-depth, and I’m very happy to have found it. Thank

OMG! Again, Kevin doesn’t disapoint! Just when discussing the reasons for studying critical thinking alone Kevin has already impressed me greatly. He said everything I ever thought about these issues, but never been able to structure it so well, and as a result communicate it well. I am really hoping, that with these tools and practice, I’ll be able to think, write and communicate so well too. So, I am really looking forward to the rest of the modules. I highly recommend Kevin’s courses to everyone! And one of them will definitely be my brother, once his english improved enough. So, I can only say good things guys, don’t hesitate, buy it now!
