If all my possessions were to be taken from me with one exception, I would choose to keep the power of communication, for by it, I would regain all the others. -Daniel Webster

Problem Solving and Critical Reasoning in Groups is a hands-on practical class that examines communication and reasoning in the context of effective group problem solving. In this class, we emphasize the application of group communication concepts and methods of problem solving to come up with effective, appropriate decisions. We will explore principles of evidence, reasoning, and impediments to effective group communication.
I believe that true learning only occurs when everyone is involved and interested in the material presented. Our class will consist of a combination of lectures, discussions, group activities, projects, and presentations. Through constructive feedback, we will all have the opportunity to teach and help each other. I encourage you to use this course to explore and broaden your world view. Please, challenge yourself and explore issues that matter to you.
