Faculty Message

Given the longevity of our careers and the rate at which work is changing, it’s no secret that lifelong learning is now a necessity. In the Critical Thinking course, we will learn skills that are broadly applicable, in high demand, and difficult to automate.

Lifelong learning should be a blessing, not a burden. There is little in this world which fulfills us more than putting new skills into practice, and that is what we aim to achieve through my course. I look forward to welcoming you to class!
