About this course

This course grounds you in evidence-based reasoning, classical and informal logic, and structured decision-making frameworks used by analysts, scientists, and strategists. You will practice identifying cognitive biases, testing arguments for validity and soundness, and applying tools like the Socratic method and the Toulmin model to real professional scenarios. By the end you will have a repeatable process for separating signal from noise and arriving at well-justified conclusions.
