Critical Thinking Made Accessible

This book is short, but has high impact on the students. I used it in my college level Critical Thinking course. The greatest feature of the book is that it uses samples from actual text books across the university curriculum. The simple technique of identifying topic, class, relevance and description of a body of information provides an excellent framework for a beginning critical thinker. I used the text in a 12 day /complete semester course and had some excellent teaching-learning moments in the classroom working with the material.An excellent buy.
