Critical Writing: A Guide to Writing a Paper Using the Concepts and Processes of Critical Thinking

The main goal of Critical Writing is to provide students with a set of robust, integrated critical concepts and processes that will allow to them think through a topic, and then write about it, and to do so in a way that is built on, and permeated by, substantive critical thinking. The "topic" in question can be virtually anything that can be written about: issues, situations, problems, questions, arguments, and decisions are just some examples. The critical thinking tools and concepts are built on the Paul-Elder Approach to critical thinking.[1]A major part of the goal of the book is to provide not only the "what" of writing a paper, but the "how" of it.
