Review: Logical and Critical Thinking - Future Learn

Logical and Critical Thinking Looking  for a bit of clarity I have (in my own mind)  been struggling with both giving my own arguments and interpreting arguments of others - mainly in the workplace - but also elsewhere.  I undertook this free course: Logical and Critical thinking created  - in part- by the University of Auckland. My interest was piqued because I am certain that good logical and critical thinking can help drive out  more clear solutions and help with more clear testing and coding and generally participate in debates better (in relation to work) and that maybe it could help in other day to day aspects of reasoning.   I have since read that it appears software engineering can actually foster better logical and critical thinking due to the need to tackle problems of different types and I can see that testing - in effect asserting truths and non-truths when validating behaviour - can also help, however I still think that a formal understanding could help hone these skills
