Much discussion has taken place among educators, professors and many others regarding how to infuse and incorporate critical thinking into the various disciplines and how to help students such as yourself become better able to use it in their studies as well as in their lives generally. It is of course important to start your study of critical thinking by attempting to define this, at times, elusive concept. But, where shall we start? The very term suggests that it has something to do with offering a critique or, more simply, a judgment about someone or something. To some extent, that is true. Critical thinking requires at the very least that you exercise judgment about a topic or issue that has come to your attention and that interests you, for one reason or another. But, that is not the whole story. For one thing, when you engage in critical thinking in the philosophical sense, it is very important to remember that you are not judging people. Instead, you are judging or evaluating what another person or group of people say or assert. 000854141 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on July 10, 2015). 000854141 650_0 $$aCritical thinking. 000854141 650_0 $$aWritten communication. 000854141 655_4 $$aLibros electronicos. 000854141 7001_ $$aBorcoman, Doug.,$$eauthor. 000854141 830_0 $$aHealth education collection. 000854141 852__ $$bebk 000854141 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4624466$$zOnline Access 000854141 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:854141$$pGLOBAL_SET 000854141 980__ $$aEBOOK 000854141 980__ $$aBIB 000854141 982__ $$aEbook 000854141 983__ $$aOnline
