Critical thinking is a hot topic at Bellevue College right now! As well it should be. About 13% of courses on campus claim critical thinking as a General Education (Gen Ed) outcome. This workshop is designed for all instructors interested in infusing critical thinking into their curriculum, and we hope that those who are teaching courses with Critical Thinking Gen Ed Outcomes will be particularly excited to join.
Participants will be invited to examine the approaches of multiple critical thinking texts, to major critical thinking topics. Russ Payne and Zoë Aleshire from BC’s philosophy department will take turns facilitating discussions. Topics covered will include the qualities of critical thinkers, evaluating argumentation, fallacies, the nature of evidence, and information literacy.
Mondays, April 11 – May 16, 1-2 p.m.
Location: In Faculty Commons or Zooming in from remote locations
12 PD Hours | $200 stipend

We have a variety of Critical Thinking and Logic books at the Commons (D104) ready for check-out.
Please reach out to William (Russ) Payne or Zoë Aleshire with your questions.
