Philosophy vs Critical Thinking: which one for your humanities requirement?

Both can fit. NCCRS recommends Principles of Philosophy in Philosophy or Humanities, and Humanities Critical Thinking & Analysis in Critical Thinking, Humanities, Philosophy, Communications or general education. If your college takes ACE recommendations, Principles of Philosophy is the one with an ACE ID (UPIS-0004). Your college decides which requirement each one meets.

Partly. Principles of Philosophy has a chapter on critical thinking, reading and writing, and one on logic and reasoning that includes informal fallacies. Humanities Critical Thinking & Analysis spends all 9 chapters on reasoning: reason and emotion, language, evidence and bias, fallacies, and inductive and deductive arguments, then advertising and the mass media.

Principles of Philosophy's final has 100 multiple-choice questions and 5 short-answer questions. Humanities Critical Thinking & Analysis has 100 multiple-choice questions. Both finals are proctored; quizzes and the assignment are open-book.

Principles of Philosophy: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, upper division, in Philosophy among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0004). Humanities Critical Thinking & Analysis: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Critical Thinking and Analysis among other subjects.
