Judgment and Analytical Reasoning

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course presents the cognitive, emotional, and contextual factors that affect judgment and decision-making. Through real-world examples, students will learn to identify common errors in human reasoning and develop an understanding of a variety of analytic strategies to overcome them. The primary tool for conducting these analyses will be Microsoft Excel. (Developing proficiency in Excel for analysis and reporting findings is a secondary goal of this course.) Features and functions of Excel will be taught in the context of the course content and third-party validation of Excel skills will be obtained through Microsoft Certification at the Basic and Expert levels. Serves as repeat credit for HOD 3890-01 in Fall 2018 and for HOD 3890-02 in Spring 2019. [3]
