Synopsis
'More analysis needed' is a comment lecturers repeatedly have to write on their students' work. Proceeding beyond this level of feedback is difficult when many students don't understand what analysis is or how to integrate criticism into their work. With this in mind, "Critical Thinking Skills" has taken the seemingly baffling art of analysis and broken it down into easy to understand blocks, with clear explanations, good examples, and plenty of activities to develop understanding at each stage. It even applies the techniques to reading, note making and writing. Recommending "Critical Thinking Skills" will help your students develop this important set of skills and improve their grades.

This is a very good book. Highly recommended for undergraduates. Lots of sound advice and ideas to work through to tune your mind to working at that level.

Very good price too.

I could!
That said, anything that helps people to think on any level in any situation has got to be well worth thinking about ! Nice price.

It is definitely worth buying at £6.99.

If you want to get an idea of its contents, have a look at these links:

The first is called the skills4study website. The page in this link is written by the author of this book and gives an overview of some of the ideas in the book:

The following link from the publisher's website has the contents pages and first chapter available for free download as a PDF.

Rep for the links, thanks! I am just finishing an OU course "Making Sense of Complexity" and the content of this book would probably have been very useful. Also my OH who has just finished a PhD highly rates the set of books in this series. I have ordered a copy to use for my next modules.

I ordered this a couple of days back as it's on the reading list for my course (not surprising given I'm at Leeds) - wish I'd thought of posting it.
