Critical thinking and writing – 30 October 2019
Critical thinking and writing – 30 October 2019

Critical thinking is a key skill in higher education and involves evaluating and weighing up information as well as considering how well it explains a concept or is fit for purpose – and then writing about this. The benefits of developing your critical thinking and writing skills include being able to show why you have included something and demonstrating a good level of understanding. We’ll explain some of the things that tutors look for which evidence this, as well as some of the indicators that this is not being done.

Please note you will need a ticket to attend this Adobe Connect Online Room event. 

This workshop will be held online twice. Please book your free ticket for workshop from 11 am to 12 pm here and for workshop from 7 pm to 8 pm here.
