On-line undergraduate and graduate courses now enrolling for summer semester

[Online <online -at- UC -dot- SYR -dot- EDU>]

Syracuse University, a pioneer in distance education, has offered
limited-residency degree programs since 1966.  As a further innovation
in providing quality educational experiences to distant students,
students who cannot attend class for a variety of reasons, Syracuse?s
Continuing Education Division has begun to offer a select number of
purely online courses each term, in cutting-edge subjects not readily
available from other web sources, taught by the same faculty who teach
the courses on campus.

PHI 171 -- Critical Thinking

Syracuse University is pleased to offer ?Critical Thinking" on-line this
summer
semester through Syracuse University Continuing Education (SUCE) OnLine.

Whether you are watching the television, reading a newspaper or
book, talking to a co-worker, or attending a class, usually some
person or institution is trying to influence your beliefs, attitudes, or

actions. Our general concern in this course will be to understand the
critical skills that are needed in making effective decisions about what

to believe and what to do, so that we may have more control over how
we respond to these influences. The course will cover general
standards for acquiring or changing belief, by means of exploring the
nature of justification and or giving reasons. Among topics to be
explored: how are beliefs justified, how do we tell whether an
explanation is the best one available, and how can we find alternative
 explanations of what we observe.
