Without a suite of skills to critique the information we receive, we are all potentially prey to deception and misinformation from a variety of sources, including academic, media and social sources. In this unit, you will learn how to evaluate the reliability of information to make informed decisions. You will learn to identify hidden agendas, biases, and influences behind the messages we receive. You will question your own views, their origins, and their ongoing sources of influence. This unit will equip you to make informed decisions and take responsible actions. This involves critical self-reflection, and an understanding of the tricks that can be used to bypass your usual critical thinking skills. You will also develop a set of criteria on which the value of evidence and arguments can be judged. Media and technology use will be a particular focus, as we examine the personal influences which shape our views.","title-full":"QUT007 QUT You: Fighting 'Fake News'","title-short":"QUT You: Fighting 'Fake News'","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=QUT007&year=2024","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=QUT007","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=QUT007"},"year":2024,"years":[2024]}
