Learning to Think Things Through - Gerald Nosich - Bog

Learning to Think Things Through is a concise, effective guide is designed to help students learn to think critically in any subject-matter. A combination of instruction and exercises shows readers how to use critical thinking to become active learners rather than passive recipients of information, to more fully appreciate the power of the discipline they are studying, to see its connections to other fields and to their day-to-day lives, and to maintain an overview of the field so they can see the parts in terms of the whole. The model of critical thinking is in terms of the elements of reasoning, standards, and critical thinking processes, and is well-suited to thinking through any problem or question. The 4th edition reflects streamlined writing, with changes and substantial edits on virtually every page. "This text stacks op very well against its competition because it is concise. The difficulty in choosing texts on critical thinking is that they are either too complicated, do not offer enough coverage, or use a particular discipline to explicate critical thinking. What makes this text effective is that it is easy to work with and applicable to any and all disciplines." - Susan Quarrell, Lehman College For more information about the book including its' support package, go to www.pearsonhighered.com/studentsuccess Start strong.
