Event Information

What does being a critical thinker have to do with success in college, and beyond? In this three-week introduction to critical thinking, you will explore with a group of other students what your professors mean when they ask you to think critically. You'll meet with a small cohort of students twice a week for three weeks, and discuss what it means to move from being a consumer of information to a producer of knowledge. Throughout the course of these workshops, you will learn to analyze and evaluate issues through the context of debates and discussions of current events taken from diverse viewpoints. Through this process, you'll come to understand why critical thinking -- the way you ask questions, your ability to view and analyze situations from multiple angles, and to seek quality information -- is key to being a better student, creative thinker, and innovator who can have a big impact on your world. At the end of the three week session, you will receive a Certificate from TILT's Academy of Critical Thinking. This session will meet on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
