Become a sophisticated creative and critical thinker with Chaffee/Carr/Proctor’s “Thinking Critically” 13th Edition, which guides you to develop core abilities needed for academic and career success. First, you'll build confidence by learning and practicing key reasoning and problem-solving skills and connecting them to your personal experiences. Then, you'll progress to the types of reasoning skills required for abstract contexts -- such as those you’ll encounter across your academic career. Activities and writing assignments invite your active participation and prompt you and your peers to critically examine each other's thinking. Thought-provoking and contemporary readings from a variety of thinkers engage you to think about complex issues from different perspectives. Along the way, you’ll track your progress as a critical thinker with self-assessment activities.
