By the time you graduate from Marshall University, you will be a much better problem solver than you are now. You will have expertise in using nine major tools (alone or together) to understand an issue, accomplish a complex task, or fix a problem. The nine tools (aka Core Domains) are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>communication fluency<\/li>\n<li>creative thinking<\/li>\n<li>ethical and civic thinking<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\"><strong>information literacy<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\"><strong>integrative thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\"><strong>intercultural thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\"><strong>inquiry based thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\"><strong>metacognitive thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li>quantitative thinking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This class will give you the chance to dig in and practice using five of these tools (the highlighted ones) right away.
