Description

Being able to critically evaluate ideas and to produce strong arguments to defend one's own ideas is a central competence for every student. This course will provide the basis for being able to analyze the structure and contents of oral and written arguments. Students will work on several texts and videos during class and at home, and learn to identify common mistakes in argumentation and to produce valid arguments for their own ideas.
