Examines how erroneous beliefs form and why they survive. Builds skills to reveal their shaky foundations and fight their harmful consequences. Analyzes beliefs relating to health, the environment, sports, and social structures, including the American race-based caste system. Introduces statistical and research design concepts. Analysis emphasized; minimal calculations. Counts as a Foundations course toward the Education minor. Team-based learning. (Gen.Ed. R2)
