Critical thinking is a course designed to teach the thinking skills which are essential to success at A level and which are of constant practical use in daily life. There is very little content to learn, instead there is a lot of practice at the skills of analysing and evaluating arguments and assessing how believable and persuasive they are. We are surrounded by people trying to persuade us to their point of view; they can include the media, politicians, those with something to sell, religious groups and scientists. It is important to understand what it is these groups are offering and to evaluate not only their conclusions, but also the strength of the reasons given to support their conclusions and the relevance of the evidence on which those conclusions are based. These are the skills taught in critical thinking.
