Great resource for university level students. Awesome book!

wasn't what I expected. my logic is a 2 compared to a ten. so I need baby steps. i missed it somewhere along the line

This should be required reading/skill building in all schools.

The book is amazing. Very simple, well organized and suites all levels. It addresses all topics that improve critical thinking.

Structured and crisp presentation.Well written text with adequate examples. Reads like a good text book on the subject.

Well kept

This book is extremely valuable for anyone attempting to improve their critical thinking skills. As a doctoral student, I do extensive academic reading and writing. This book breaks down every element of critical thinking skills, argument, analysis, and provides exercises in each section. I have learned how to better engage with academic texts. There are checklists in this book to evaluate your own essays, such checking for internal consistency, logic rules, lines of reasoning, a clear thesis statement etc. My writing has improved significantly as a result of this book.

Critical Thinking Skills is an excellent textbook for anyone looking to brush up on, or developing key critical analysis skills. As a university student, this book was recommended to me by my lecturer, so it came highly praised and it has certainly lived up to it! I read the whole textbook in two days before embarking on planning my important essays (the reason why I purchased the textbook). The textbook provides clear-cut examples in a very easy to understand layout. There are 'test yourself' at the end of each section/chapter which are great for you to get an overall sense of how well you understood each particular topic. The book also very cleverly highlights many 'pitfalls' of writing which (most) people tend to make in their writing without realising. Examples are provided or both 'good' and 'bad' texts so the distinction between the two is made very clear; it then goes on to explain what to do and how to do it well, so it certainly lives up to its claim! It is an ongoing critical reference book I will come back to time and time again to pick on key points which I want to refine a bit more in my writing skills. Final message for anyone looking to purchase this book: buy it, trust me you won't regret it! Especially recommended for university students, particularly at the start of their undergraduate degree as it is vitally important to develop these critical skills before reaching your final year and have to complete your dissertation. 5 out 5 stars for doing what is claims to do in a clear and concise manner!

Muy buen enfoque sobre el tema y excelente despliegue de elementos, para el estudio que estoy realizando, cubre totalmente mis expectativas
