This site is for those of you who are interested in helping your students become
better critical thinkers and want an accessible directory of information about
teaching critical thinking. Jenzi Silverman piloted a "live" version
of this material as a supplement to the workshop "Promoting Critical Thinking
in Your Classes," part of the Center for Teaching & Learning Services
Teaching Enrichment series.
For each reference in the annotated bibliography, Jenzi has written a brief
abstract highlighting what she believes are its most salient points. The criteria
she uses for including sources in the bibliography are that they are interesting
and unique in their approach to teaching critical thinking, accessible in terms
of their language and location, and applicable to a broad range of disciplines.
