「為什麼英文唸這麼久了，閱讀能力還是沒什麼進步啊？」
「我的語感告訴我這樣沒問題，怎麼還是被糾正？」
「吼~~寫作怎麼這麼難？為什麼別人的文章可以通順又深刻，我的看起來就很廢？！」
「常聽到的『批判性思考』究竟是啥意思？它跟閱讀和寫作有關聯嗎？」
「『論證』和『邏輯』感覺都好深奧耶，我該怎麼運用它們？」
「看電影也可以訓練批判思考的能力？真假？（太抽象的我會Zzz喔！）」

若你在學習思考、閱讀和寫作的過程中，曾有過這些疑惑，曾力求突破但無功而返，本門課將透過以批判思考為核心的閱讀素材與寫/創作主題，循序漸進地帶領你成為更好的閱寫人。

The ability to read and write critically is an ability to be honed by anyone who desires success in academia and/or thoughtfulness of mind. This course aims to foster your awareness of and competence in the reading and writing of English as able to serve you across all academic disciplines and prepare you as better critical thinkers. Critical reading is characterized by an identification of the author's main point or claim, a recognition of how it is supported by evidence, an analysis and evaluation of explicit or implicit arguments, and an exploration of where bad reasoning and beliefs might come from. Critical writing integrates the reading techniques and demands a lucid and logical organization of thoughts supplemented by sound evidence and effective rhetoric. The approach to fulfilling this course's objective is twofold: (1) we read, analyze, and critique a variety of texts ranging from artificial intelligence to ethics; and (2) you reinforce the learned contents through writing and presenting collaboratively with your teammates.
