A video-based introduction to Critical thinking – covering the definition of critical thinking and a variety of different elements, including evaluating arguments, causal reasoning, and evaluating sources.
Strengths
Very simple and straightforward video presentations on various Critical Thinking topics. Divided into a variety of relatively short pieces (six to thirteen minutes) that could be distributed throughout the semester.
Concerns
Some might consider the presentations a little dry, and may have too much to go through if you’re just looking for a simple introduction.
Recommendations for use
The professor could use the first video (Intro to Critical Thinking) at the beginning of class and then use others during the semester as he or she introduced different topics (evaluating arguments or sources, for example).
