Critical Thinking Skills: Developing Effective Analysis and Argument (Palgrave Study Skills)

Critical Thinking Skills: Developing Effective Analysis and Argument (Palgrave Study Skills)

by StellaCottrell (Author)

Synopsis

'More analysis needed' is a comment lecturers repeatedly have to write on their students' work. Proceeding beyond this level of feedback is difficult when many students don't understand what analysis is or how to integrate criticism into their work. So Critical Thinking Skills has taken the seemingly baffling art of analysis and broken it down into easy to understand blocks, with clear explanations, good examples, and plenty of activities to develop understanding at each stage. This easy to follow, step-by step guide to developing reasoning skills even applies the techniques to tasks such as reading, note-making and writing. It is essential for students wishing to perfect their thinking, reading and writing skills, and improve their grades.
