While this is an online course, several sections are taught on campus each semester by excellent instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is an online course, there are two considerations to keep in mind. First, if you do not have reliable, regular internet access, you should not take this course. Second, this course will require that students be self-directed and motivated. If you have trouble meeting self-imposed deadlines and working independently, you should consider enrolling in one of the on-campus sections of this course instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure you&#8217;re ready for an online course, review Palomar College&#8217;s online readiness resource:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/areyouready\/\">Are You Ready for Online Learning?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Textbook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be using the following book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Larry Wright, Critical Thinking: An Introduction to Analytical Reading and Reasoning<\/em> (Oxford University Press).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n  <li><strong>First Edition (2001)<\/strong> \u2014 ISBN: 0195130332<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Second Edition (2012)<\/strong> \u2014 ISBN: 019979622X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may purchase, rent, or use either edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lastly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an enjoyable, though challenging, course.
