Dear Student:
Welcome to your Instructional Internet-based course.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR: John A. Doyle, Ph.D.
As your instructor, I will be assisting you
throughout the course.
My educational background includes B.A. level studies in philosophy at All
Hallows College, Dublin, Ireland; M.A. degree in counseling psychology
from Loyola University Los Angeles; and a Ph.D. degree in Social Ethics
from the University of Southern California. I am also a California
licensed marriage, family and child counselor.
Thinking is a common human experience; the
challenge is to think well. Much of our thinking, left unexamined, is
imprecise, biased, distorted, uninformed, or plain prejudiced. Yet the
quality of our academic and everyday life is dependent upon the quality of
our thought. The focus of this course will be to sharpen your thinking
skills to where you can formulate issues and problems more clearly and
precisely, and come to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions.
