ZTC & LTC Classes

The college strives to ensure that the ZTC and LTC designations are accurate; however, under some circumstances, faculty may have to adjust selection of instructional materials and this can affect course material costs. It may also be necessary to change instructors. Replacement faculty have academic freedom to choose instructional materials regardless of costs and are not obligated to use free course materials selected by an instructor previously assigned to the class.

Critical Thinking and Writing

This course develops critical thinking skills that can be applied in all areas of life. It emphasizes effectively understanding, evaluating, and constructing written arguments. Topics include inductive and deductive reasoning, cognitive biases, fallacies, credibility, and explanations. Using examples from the news and social media, the Internet, advertising, political speeches, and other real-life examples from a variety of culturally diverse sources, students learn to distinguish between good and bad arguments and practice producing coherent argumentative essays in support of their beliefs.
