Foundations of Argument Analysis

This module lays the groundwork for understanding how arguments are constructed. Participants will learn what critical thinking entails, identify the components of an argument, and explore different types of reasoning. The content establishes a framework for deeper analysis in later modules. Understanding Critical Thinking Components of an Argument Types of Reasoning

Deconstructing Arguments

This module focuses on deconstructing arguments by delineating their structure clearly. Participants will learn to map arguments, identify key claims, discern evidence from opinion, and uncover implicit assumptions. These skills are essential for critical analysis and are supported by methodologies presented in popular critical thinking texts. Mapping Argument Structure Identifying Claims and Evidence Recognizing Implicit Assumptions

Analyzing Evidence

This module explores the various types of evidence and the criteria for evaluating their credibility. Learners will study how to identify bias and understand the nuances between qualitative and quantitative data. Drawing on insights from 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' and 'Critical Thinking', this section emphasizes rigorous scrutiny of evidence. Types of Evidence Evaluating Source Credibility Identifying Bias in Evidence

Evaluating Argument Validity

Building on foundational skills, this module focuses on examining whether arguments are logically valid and sound. Participants will learn to identify and test the validity of premises and to uncover logical fallacies. Core techniques are backed by critical analysis methods from leading texts in the field. Testing Logical Consistency Assessing Argument Soundness Recognizing Logical Fallacies

Applying Critical Analysis

The final module consolidates course concepts through practical application. Participants will engage with case studies, synthesize evidence, and refine their analytical toolkit. This hands-on approach encourages ongoing practice and continuous improvement in critical thinking.
