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

Product Information

One skill that many people today are lacking is the ability to assess situations and objectively develop solutions that can fix the issue at the same time, not to the detriment of another. Ideal for students who are mystified by lecturer comments such as 'more analysis needed', this title takes the art of analysis and breaks it down into easy-to-understand blocks, with clear explanations, good examples, and plenty of activities to develop understanding at each stage. The aim of this article is to dissect what is critical thinking by providing an in-depth view of what this means over the years and providing a little background on the idea of critical thinking and the foundation that gave rise to this. Moreover, the book also enables the reader to assess their own skills which can be quite useful for writing arguments and identifying the possible flaws in the same.

The book also very cleverly highlights many 'pitfalls' of writing which (most) people tend to make in their writing without realising. With clear explanations, relevant examples and plenty of exercises throughout, this book helps students to develop their analytical reasoning skills and apply them to a range of tasks including reading, note-making and writing. Critical thinking includes the component skills of analyzing arguments, making inferences using inductive or deductive reasoning, judging or evaluating, and making decisions or solving problems.As a university student, this book was recommended to me by my lecturer, so it came highly praised and it has certainly lived up to it! It is an ongoing critical reference book I will come back to time and time again to pick on key points which I want to refine a bit more in my writing skills. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

This assignment will also assess the application of critical thinking to different situations as well as assessment instruments that can be used to measure critical thinking. This is an ideal companion for students of study skills, humanities, social sciences, business and arts programmes, where assessment includes essay and report writing. I bought this book in preparation for uni and it has been very helpful in 'reading between the lines' and clarifying strong and weak arguments. This book is a very excellent read that keeps your attention throughout its pages, it covers a vast amount of information on developing resolute thinking skills, and furthering ones fencing skills when having discourse.
