Critical Thinking: A Student's Introduction

Critical Thinking: A Student's Introduction, 9780073407432 (0073407437), McGraw-Hill, 2010

The first edition of Critical Thinking: A Student’s Introduction grew out of our conviction that a critical thinking text that works—that produces real, measurable improvement in students’ critical reasoning skills—must have two essential features:

• It must be a text that our increasingly gadget-oriented students actually read.

• It must provide abundant, class-tested exercises that give students the practice they need to develop as maturing critical thinkers.

In revising Critical Thinking: A Student’s Introduction for this edition, we’ve tried to remain faithful to this original vision. Many passages have been rewritten to make the book clearer and (we hope) more engaging and accessible. In addition, dozens of new exercises have been added to give students even more opportunities to hone their critical reasoning skills.

This popular text helps today's students bridge the gap between everyday culture and critical thinking. Using a proven step-by-step approach, this text covers all the basics of critical thinking, in clear, reader-friendly language. Its comprehensiveness allows instructors to tailor the material to their individual teaching styles, resulting in an exceptionally versatile text.
