A User-Friendly Manual Becoming a Critical Thinker: A User Friendly Manual trains students to become critical thinkers and thoughtful decision makers. It helps students to distinguish high-quality, well-supported arguments from those with little or no evidence to support them.

Teaching and Learning Experience Improve Critical Thinking – Coverage of persuasive speaking, decision-making, the Toulmin model of argumentation, and chapter-end writing and speaking exercises teach students to construct and present arguments so that they can gain skill and confidence. Engage Students – Becoming a Critical Thinker: A User Friendly Manual exposes students to a variety of contemporary and multicultural issues, engaging their understanding of analytical skills through the use of articles and varied examples.
