These include:¿ explain what critical thinking is in simple terms;¿ convincingly explain to students why it is important for them to learn critical thinking, and, if they tune out, what they stand to lose;¿ overcome the challenges that teaching critical thinking presents;¿ identify the type of course content to which critical thinking can be applied and, therefore, that readers can use to teach critical thinking;¿ integrate critical thinking into the design of a new or existing course in any discipline;¿ write assessable critical thinking learning outcomes that are compatible with and make sense in any discipline;¿ select and adapt activities and assignments that will give students no- or low-stakes practice with feedback in critical thinking using a variety of questions, tasks, and teaching methods.…
