Summaries

Summary Sentence: Faculty seminar on critical thinking

Full Summary: Critical thinking is a term that is frequently used but rarely is clearly defined. Join us for a discussion about how to elicit critical thinking from our students at Georgia Tech.

Critical thinking is a term that is frequently used, but rarely is it clearly defined. If we expect our students to be critical thinkers, then we must articulate its meaning within our disciplinary contexts. What happens, for instance, when we pose unresolved questions or highlight uncertainties in our field? Dr. Ruggeri will explore frameworks that describe ways students think and can help us get students to think more “critically.” Join us for a discussion about how to elicit critical thinking from our students at Georgia Tech.
