IDIS 1600 - Critical and Creative Thinking

3 cr. 3 hr. This course may be offered less than once every two years.

In this course, students will explore the fundamentals of critical and creative thinking; the core of our thoughts and actions. Together, these fundamentals serve as the basis for understanding and perceiving ourselves and others in the world, and serve as the foundation for problem-solving in a rapidly evolving world order. Students will be challenged to reflect upon complex concepts and issues through analysis and synthesis, and to seek unique and useful responses to challenges and adversity. Interdisciplinary by nature, the value of such study is to enable students to develop into active and imaginative thinkers in a variety of areas; academic subjects, contemporary issues, and personal life experiences in the new century.
