Critical Thinking
Integrating Critical Thinking into Your Course
Description: Every course can provide opportunities for critical thinking. Getting students to apply critical thinking requires understanding the elements and practice. As instructors, we never have enough time to teach everything we want, so how do you incorporate critical thinking on the side? You don't! This presentation will be a discussion of integrating critical thinking into what you currently do-blending it into the content and activities you use.
