Critical
thinking is a vital skill at university and later in life. University study
introduces you to new concepts, ways of learning and requires you to think
critically. You need to know how to question information sources and how to
evaluate different arguments.
Despite
critical thinking being so important, students are often unprepared when they
start their studies. This course will show you what critical thinking skills
you need at university level, how they can be applied to different disciplines
and how to use practical strategies to develop these skills for a successful
academic life.
