Episode 1.1: What is Critical Thinking?

[centerforinnovationinlegal]

ProfessorCosmic,

Thanks for your kind words. We still have a handful to post, so keep your eyes peeled. Be sure to share these with anyone you think would be interested!

[tamirugonche]

Thank you for the information shared. See how much time and energy we spend fighting to impose our misguided views on others can be saved by applying evidenced and therefore credible approaches.

I am going to share this video with my seventh and my ninth grader. They are doing quite a bit of reading and writing at school, including book reports, and this is surely gonna help them become better thinkers and writers.  You, sir, are providing a great service by posting this here. I know that they will eventually cover this concept before they graduate, but teacher's lectures aren't always as clear as this presentation.

我是一个中文非常厉害的人
我有我态度 我有我角度
当我看到一些思想角度态度和我有冲突
这些就是化学作用
因为我会印象深刻
而且还会尝试了解/分解其中的意思
当我接受认同了这种角度
而别人还未接受
好压抑 😆😆

Best tutorial on critical thinking! Helped a lot to understand what really critical thinking is.

[RottenDoctorGonzo]

I wish more people - esp from dangerous ideologies -could employ critical thinking. It is so rare.

[kellykitkat]

You decide for yourself what is right, and what is wrong. But the question remains, Will you decide correctly? And you decide what is right or wrong, based on what you believe is good, or bad.

Critical thinking is about to reach the conclusion by thinking logically, considering all facts, eliminating the bias

[likeakittie]

Great video with clear explanation. Thank you.

[AlyWoolfrey]

Fantastic video. Definitely the best tutorial on critical thinking I've seen so far. I wish it had subtitles, though. It's hard for my non-native speaker students to understand with just audio prompts (though your slides and animations help immensely), and Youtube's auto-caption software isn't useful for purposes outside of humor!

[rhymes-stories]

We major in English and we have a module called study skills we really dealt with the critical thinking😍😍

[francesbanks]

I think the best Critical Thinking is when you have evidence to prove reason of thought or action. A good example is in the video when the boss ask two employees the same question on how to improve the company advertisement for more profit the upcoming year and the young lady waited a day to respond in which she presented facts from research. The young man eager to please gave no thought, just blurted what he thought was best (hoping he would be recognized for a speedy response) and what his boss wanted to hear.

THANK YOU!! needed this as i am starting this course for my last semester, and didn't know what critical thinking was in terms of like a course

[andrealindell]

Excellent presentation, should be mandatory grade school prep for life.

[MarcoMeerman]

Hi Aaron, I wanted to say thanks, im 34 and these video's are the first iv'e seen with a high quality. I will see some more.

[jameskreitzburg]

People ask “how do I think Critically?” I ask what is the end goal or the ultimate reason for engaging in the process anyways?

[musselchee]

It was erroneously drummed into me my presumed "perfectionism" was strange. When in fact I enjoy and I am good at solving puzzles. The cogs in my brian left to cogitate work best alone. This lesson explains the stimuli behind my particular peccadillo. Houston, we have lift off.

[cornelbacauanu]

Every one graduating any school should have a certain level of critical thinking .

[norbertherriott]

A great video for a segment of Critical Thinking...good job!

Critical thinking: the process of giving an answer without actually giving an answer.
