Critical Thinking: In this module students will discover their personal thinking dispositions and get introduced to elements that influence their critical thinking skills, such as personal beliefs, cognitive biases and inferential heuristics. Through a series of structured student-led dialogues students will also reach consensus on how sensitive a critical thinker should be about the feelings and knowledge of others. E.g. living up to 'the principle of charity'.
Business Analytics: In this module, students delve into the principles of business analytics and data-driven decision making. Through hands-on projects and case studies, students will learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret data to inform strategic decision-making processes. They will also explore the role of AI algorithms and machine learning techniques in extracting insights from large datasets, enabling them to leverage data-driven approaches effectively in real-world scenarios.
Generative AI: This module introduces students to the exciting field of generative AI, where algorithms are used to create new content, such as images, text, and music. Through practical workshops and experimentation with state-of-the-art AI tools, students will explore the creative potential of generative AI technologies. They will examine ethical considerations surrounding AI-generated content, including issues related to intellectual property, bias, and privacy, fostering a critical understanding of the opportunities and challenges inherent in AI creativity.
