Workshop overview

Critical thinking isn’t just about finding faults – it’s about looking beyond what's there to consider other possibilities and relationships.

In this practical and interactive workshop you’ll be invited to try a few short exercises in critical thinking. So, it’s a good idea to come with a situation or a research study that you would like to reflect on critically – or you could try these exercises on your own research topic. You’ll also learn some ways to introduce criticality and authority into your writing style.

Thinking and writing critically are key transferable skills that you can apply to build your career within academia and beyond.

By the end of the workshop, you should be better able to:

· Use critical thinking techniques to evaluate the work of other scholars – and your own.

· Create persuasive arguments in a well-structured report, thesis or research paper

· Review your own writing, to strengthen its power and precision.
