Developing Critical Thinking Skills

Every day, we make hundreds of assumptions based on facts, observations, and experiences. Some are useful time savers, but some are based on a weak premise or poor data and can lead to jumping to a conclusion without asking questions or listening to other people's input. When a decision is based on assumptions and prejudices, it mitigates the opportunity for innovation and creativity. Examining your assumptions requires small changes, but the payoff is significant.

Course Details:

In this course, you’ll learn how assumptions manifest and what power they have on decision making and innovation. You’ll learn practices to redirect automatic assumption-based thinking into critical thinking as well as questioning techniques to identify assumptions so you can mitigate their impact. You’ll also learn techniques to help you investigate assumptions thoroughly and how to systematically test them, which will give you the best chance of making the best decisions.

This course contains 18 modules (Total Time: 1hr, 6mins):

1. Investigating Assumptions
2. Detecting Assumptions Through Questioning
3. Applying Your Skills in Detecting Assumptions

Create & use complex data types (lists, tuples, sets, etc.)
Perform type conversions.
Create strings with various quotes.
How to perform basic math and logical operations in Python.
Create Python variables and see how you can assign and access values stored in these variables.
Use built-in functions in the core Python programming language to perform simple calculations and operations.
Explore strings in Python work, creating strings using single, double, and triple quotes depending on the use case.
Examine the use of complex data types, such as lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.
When you're finished with this course, you'll be able to execute simple Python commands on Jupyter notebooks.

Overview:

In Module #1, you'll learn the basics of Python and its philosophy, setting up Python, and writing a basic program with built-in data types, loops, and conditionals.

Objectives:

Setting Up
A Basic Program
Data Types
Sequence Types
Collection & Mapping Types in Python
Loops & Conditionals
Practice: Writing a Python Program

Overview:

Python is a lot more than a scripting language, and can be used to create OOP applications using classes, or using a functional paradigm.

This module covers some of the ways Python programs can execute. You'll learn about building your own custom functions and classes, and documentation and file handling.

Objectives:

Modules & Functions
Classes
Documenting Code
Files
Practice: Creating Classes
