Weighing Pros and Cons

Use the $4-$ step process as illustrated in the chapter $1$ scenario on drinking untreated stream water to weigh the pros and cons of whether to sign up for a seated $($in the classroom in real time with an instructor$)$ version of Critical Thinking as opposed to the Online version of the class you are currently taking. Assume the course tuition and content are the same either way.

Hint: Your initial response must take into account each of the following and remember this discussion is not about your personal preference, but about the best course of action given the the relative pros and cons of each version of the course:

$(1)$ Consider the possible courses of action.

$(2)$ Guess the consequences of those various courses of action.

$(3)$ Evaluate those consequences.

$(4)$ Consider the probabilities that those various consequences will actually occur.

$(5)$ After weighing the pros$/$cons$,$ which course of action seems most reasonable to you?
