DATA AND CRITICAL THINKING
Every day we are all bombarded with information from social media, the news, and our social networks. All too often, what we hear is taken out of context, biased, incorrect, or just plain fake. How can you know when an argument for or against doing something is valid? How can you know what to conclude from some data? In a world in which sometimes everything seems uncertain, how can you learn to distinguish between more reliable and less reliable information? And how can you tell when you are being manipulated?
The Data & Critical Thinking Learning Community will help you answer these questions. You will gain skills and practice to confront this avalanche of data and argumentation, recognise biases in others and reduce your own, and ultimately become a better decision-maker and advocate. We live in an increasingly complex world where sometimes a position or policy that seems obviously good or bad, or likely to produce a certain desired result, ends up having the opposite effect from what its supporters wanted — learn how to avoid the trap of unintended consequences!
