Intended for academicians who teach introductory psychology and/or oversee grad assistants who teach the course. The third volume in this series, all articles are new and this volume emphasizes assessment.
"The four pieces on critical thinking are exemplary....Each defines critical thinking somewhat differently; then suggests a general approach to producing critical thinking (riddles, problem immersion, questioning, and writing); and then provides concrete examples of the approach. After carefully reading these articles, the novice will be able to follow his or her department's debates about critical thinking and participate in them....new faculty may particularly like the demonstrations and activities....established faculty who are feeling that their introductory course is going stale will probably find this book an impetus for change."
