Work in pairs. Agree on 2-3 key sentences in the last page of the
MLB case.a. Person B reads one sentence aloud, then states in
his/her own words what has been read. In other words, person B interprets the sentence.
b. Person A may then either agree with the interpretation or offer a different interpretation, add to the first one, etc.
c. Do not critique the evidence, merely interpret the logic of the statement or claim.
d. Switch roles and move on to next key sentence. (Instructor will intervene and ask you to explain your
result)

“Critical Thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication as a guide to belief and action”
Center For Critical Thinking (2004)

“He had learned how to pass examinations by ‘cramming; that is, in three or four days and nights he could get into his head enough of a selected fragment of some scientific or philosophical or literary or linguistic subject to reply plausibly to six questions out of ten. He could retain the information necessary for such a feat just long enough to give a successful performance; then it would evaporate utterly from his brain, and leave him undisturbed.”
On what George Amberson had learned in college, from the Magnificant Ambersons (1918)}

Critical thinking involves finding connections between concepts, asking relevant questions, to find solutions to personal, professional, and academic problems.
Students should be able to: Generate and justify ideas and questions. Identify, examine, and access relationships between
ideas and concepts. Determine problems, hypothesize possible courses of
action, apply viable solutions, and evaluate outcomes.

A well cultivated critical thinker: raises vital questions and problems, formulating
them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information,
using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and
solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences;
and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.
