About this book

CRITICAL THINKING: A USER'S MANUAL offers an innovative skill-based approach to critical thinking that provides step-by-step tools for examining arguments and becoming a savvy information consumer. You first build basic skills by recognizing, analyzing, diagramming, and evaluating arguments. Later chapters focus on the application of your new skills to specific types of arguments as well as fallacies. Multiple types of exercises help you practice what you have learned, regardless of your learning style. The exercises promote active learning, integrate writing as part of the critical thinking process, and help you to use the skills you are acquiring in real life. Use the Your Turn! features throughout the book to stop, think, and apply what you just learned to ensure that you are prepared for class and ready for tests.
