3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Business Majors: Admission to Coles College of Business, admission to the Coles College Scholars program, and CSCH 4010; Non-business Majors: Not available to non-business majors.
In this course, students are exposed to critical thinking and decision-making theory, methodology and tools. In addition to the theory of knowledge and the “ways of knowing,” students will learn to identify key assumptions, evaluate, and develop and test appropriate hypotheses within the context of large and small problem-solving situations. There is an emphasis on a variety of problems, including those that deal with uncertainly, equivocality, and factors that are measurable and hard to quantify.
