A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"The Thinking Game" is designed for self instruction or course use at the beginning of undergraduate training or at the end of secondary school. It is especially useful for mid-career students new to an academic environment. The material is organized into 24 basic units plus additional units - one showing how to create a check list which can be used in intellectual criticism, one dealing with writing and reading and one showing how to present a written or oral critique of an author's work. The overall purpose of "The Thinking Game" is to improve the student's capacity to deal systematically and effectively with argument and criticism relating to policy making, whether individual or collective; that purpose tends to determine the most effective way to use the text. In practical terms, the student should, by the end of the course, be capable of producing a competent criticism of articles or editorials from the quality press and be capable of judging whether the criticism is competent.
