Course description

Reasoning in a discussion requires both careful judgment and clear communication. A strong response begins with understanding the actual claim, then addresses its reasons in words another person can follow. This course explains fair interpretation, clear argument, useful questions, and constructive disagreement. It brings the path together through a practical review of facts, values, evidence, uncertainty, and decisions. The aim is a more accurate answer or a useful next step, even when complete agreement is not possible.
