Deductive Reasoning

Deductive Reasoning is a critical thinking skill that involves drawing conclusions from facts and arguments. Coursera's deductive reasoning catalogue teaches you how to apply logical thinking to solve complex problems and make sound decisions. You'll learn the process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true, formulating hypothesises, testing them, and coming up with well-substantiated arguments. This skill will enhance your capabilities in a wide range of fields, from data analysis and computer programming to philosophical debates and business strategy formulation. You'll gain the ability to critically evaluate and construct arguments, an essential tool for academic, professional, and everyday life situations.
