Charge of Your Learning and Your Life

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Everybody thinks to some extent about mistakes he or she makes and how to correct them. Critical thinkers are different in that they seek systematic ways to improve their thinking and to create for themselves systematic practice to serve this end. This book is designed to help motivated learners develop into fair-minded critical thinkers. By critical thinking, then, we mean the art of devising systematic ways to improve the quality of our learning and our lives (by systematically improving the thinking that underlies them).

By the end of the course, the students should demonstrate documented critical thinking skills, be articulate about their strengths and weaknesses as aspiring "fair-minded" thinkers, insightful in discussing their stages of personal development as thinkers, and reasonably proficient in carrying out a realistic plan for the improvement of their thinking.
