Critical Thinking Tutorial: "Critical thinking involves critical consciousness, being concerned about what's happening in the world and taking action against the oppressive elements.

Critical thinking involves understanding that freedom is based on intelligent independence and self-direction.

Critical thinking involves the careful consideration of multiple points of view and keeping our minds open to alternative sources of information.

To think critically, we must actively seek truth, not merely a satisfying belief.

To think critically you must be able to:
Know the difference between reliable and unreliable observations and statements of facts;
Be persistent enough to observe objectively and thoroughly, and to collect sufficient factual or textual evidence;
See patterns or relationships in what they have observed or discovered in their reading;
Infer and to assume carefully;
Form opinions even while keeping an open (active) mind;
Create arguments understanding that they are not the last word, but part of an ongoing debate in a scholarly process. "
