Thinking for Yourself: Developing Critical Thinking Skills Through Reading and Writing - Softcover

"I have, many times, described it to colleagues as the best in its field and chock-full of excellent instruction for students in many areas."

"I enjoy using your textbook. More important is how much the students like and learn from it. You got it right, Ms. Mayfield, each chapter builds effectively on the previous chapter to help students understand and use the skills of a critical thinker."

"Near entire course in a book--well organized--academic--yet accessible with lots of great exercises and assessment tools."

"The content is not intimidating to students, i.e., not too much technical jargon. The text makes the instructor's job easy."

THINKING FOR YOURSELF: DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS THROUGH READING AND WRITING offers a unique integration of composition, reading, and critical thinking. As you complete the book's writing assignments, you'll see how your writing reflects your thinking and how self-directed improvement in thinking also improves your writing.
