highly attuned critical thinking skills, and you can, too. In fact, you probably have a lot of these skills
already. Of all your thinking skills, critical thinking may have the greatest value. We have developed
a CARs(Critical Analysis and Reasoning) program at The Reading Ranch to help build these critical
thinking skills. I love it when I see our students read a passage and can form an opinion and explain
the steps to how they came to their conclusions and then write about it! All college students,
especially those in the social sciences and humanities, will develop the intellectual skills necessary for
critically engaging information in order to become active learners and effective agents in the world.
This book complements information in introductory, interdisciplinary, or discipline-specific courses.
Every chapter contains examples and exercises that can be assigned as homework, adopted as in-
class activities, or both. The Conclusion also contains exercises for developing writing and basic
mathematical competency skills. http://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/criticaled/article/view/182342

Gathering and assessing information Signature courses allow UT Austin students to have a shared
academic experience to start them off well in their undergraduate careers. For faculty, development
of these courses invites members from all disciplines to play a role in laying the groundwork for
successful thinking, learning, writing, and presenting, as well as to join in the critical conversation
about the goals of undergraduate education. By bringing first-year students into regular contact with
top faculty, we begin to weave them into the academic fabric of the university and solidify the
expectation that students interact with faculty from across the schools and colleges. Are soft skills

charge for their products and services? When was the last time you took the viewpoint of your client
or even your client’s clients if they’re a wholesaler or a B to B business? Of course, it’s hard to

the person next to me isn’t my colleague but her doppelganger? How do I really know that my phone
isn’t being tapped? Not that I want you to become paranoid but questioning everything is great
practice for critical thinking. The first step in questioning assumptions in business is figuring out

client about long-term strategy upon which years of effort and cost will be based, be sure to ask
basic questions about your beliefs: How do you know that business will increase? What does the
research say about your expectations about the future of the market? Have you taken time to step
into the figurative shoes of your customers as a “secret shopper”? What about considering
alternatives? You can ask “What if” questions: What if our clients changed? What if the suppliers we
use went belly up? These will help you gain new and important perspectives that help hone your
thinking. When you read and take notes, use the text coding strategy. Text coding is a way
of tracking your thinking while reading. It entails marking the text and recording what you are
thinking either in the margins or perhaps on Post-it notes. As you make connections and ask
questions in response to what you read, you monitor your comprehension and enhance your long-
term understanding of the material. Exit Pass Questions • What is one connection that I was able to

the first conclusion, whatever the evidence. Even worse, C-suite leaders will practice selective
perception-whatever supports their prior beliefs. These C-level execs have a lack of metacognition;
the awareness and understanding of their thought process. Basically, they become overconfident
without thinking things through. Their critical thinking skills are lacking. Through our research and
