講義概要 ／Course description	Thinking Processes provides an introduction to the analysis of thought and value. The course is based on the idea that students can cultivate critical faculties by becoming more aware of the thinking process itself. Analytical skills will be developed through close engagement with a variety of texts, a process that involves careful reading, thoughtful writing, and probing discussion. Throughout the process of interpreting the readings and analyzing the issues which they involve, students are encouraged to raise pertinent questions, to voice ambiguities, and to ponder different perspectives. The course aims to establish a reflective classroom where all views are carefully examined and closely reasoned.

評価基準・割合 ／Evaluation	その他／Others(in detail)　：Final grades will be determined according to the following formula: short papers, 55%; major essays, 35%; participation in discussions, 10+%. Absences and late arrivals will have a negative effect on a student’s final grade. There is no fixed number of allowable absences; students are expected to attend every class. One or two absences will be tolerated, but more than three will automatically result in the final grade being lowered. Students who miss several classes will fail.
