...Teaching Critical Thinking with Electronic Discussion Steven A. Greenlaw and Stephen B. DeLoach Abstract: One of the products of a liberal undergraduate education is the ability to think critically. In practice, critical thinking is a skill that economics students are supposed to master as they complete their studies. However, exactly what critical thinking means is generally not well defined. Building on the literature on critical thinking, the authors examine how electronic discussion can be used effectively to teach this skill. Because of the multiplicity of views expressed, the asynchronous nature of the technology, and the inherent positive spillovers that are created, electronic discussion appears to provide a natural framework for teaching critical thinking. Key words: class discussion, critical thinking, distance learning, electronic discussion JEL code; A2 One of the products of a liberal undergraduate education is the ability to think critically. This should be particularly true for economics students who. after all, are ostensibly taught the discipline's version of critical thinking—the economic way of thinking. It is ironic then, that relatively little has been published on effective strategies for teaching critical thinking in economics.' This is not an original criticism. In his seminal article on research in pedagogy, Fels (1969) identified critical thinking as an area ripe for teaching and exploration by economists, Fels's critique, "rarely is a concerted effort...

...correctly; there must be a standard to be argued for, since the immediately given is not satisfactory. It is in ethical reality that the degree of difference of intelligence between man and the animals is perhaps equivalent to a difference in kind. Because of this, the human good, as opposed to the natural good, is inherently questionable. In this class, we will be looking at how it is that philosophers have concerned themselves with this question. We will look at 3 of major different ways in which the question the ultimate ethical principle has been understood; the utilitarian, the “deontological” and the “eudaimonistic”, by considering a few of the primary texts that deal with these. Requirements, Expectations, Grading You are expected to attend and attentively participate in every class period. The grade for this course will consist of two exams, midterm and final (25 % each) , weekly response papers (40%), and class attendance and participation (10%).

...receive all information for the class electronically. ONLINE students, after the semester begins, you must check the News page every day. Anything less and you will be jeopardizing your grade and status in the class! This is an intense class which imitates a regular in-person class. Also, this is a 3 unit college level class and as such requires 10-12 hours of study per week. As is the case with many on-campus courses, History 121 requires that the student be highly disciplined and motivated. This course offers considerable flexibility for the completion of assignments, yet like students taking Asian History at the SCC campus, on-line students must meet certain deadlines in order to complete the course successfully. Late work will not be accepted!! No exceptions!!! PREREQUISITES None. However, a desire to learn and think critically is beneficial. COURSE OBJECTIVES • Critically analyze and examine documents, quantitative data, and historical events to evaluate, develop logical methods and understand contending viewpoints. • Develop communication skills through writing exercises and discussion of critical historical events. • Act as a better informed citizen,...

...that you will receive is assembled from an exam question pool, so that no two students in the course will take exactly the same exam. There are separate question pools for the 30 objective questions (multiple choice, multiple answer, and matching—worth 5 points each and broken down by TCO), and the 7 essay questions (worth 20 points each and broken down by topic). The essay questions are all located at the end of the exam, so be sure to allow approximately one-half of your time for the essay questions. The essay questions can each be answered in 1-2 paragraphs. To prepare for the exam, review the following materials from each week’s material 1. Re-read the “Lecture” page, including the examples. 2. Read the instructor’s “wrap-up” to the two threaded discussion questions. 3. Review your graded answers to the weekly chapter-end homework problems. 4. Review your graded quizzes (Weeks 1-7). The objective questions are drawn largely from weekly quiz questions and chapter-end homework questions. In reviewing weekly quiz and homework answers, make sure you understand why the correct answers are correct. Re-read the relevant page(s) in the text, if necessary.

...Being a Leader — Individual Discussion Question 2 — Resilient Questioning Week 4 Matthias Nott Contact: Student ID: Created: Updated: Version: m.nott@liverpool.ac.uk H00023837 December 28, 2012 January 2, 2013 1.0 1 RESILIENCE QUESTIONING 2 Discussion Question In this week’s ‘Leadership and organizing: sensemaking in action article by Pye, the chief executive (CE) in the case took an approach to change that resulted in his being terminated. Was he too focussed on his preeminent ‘position’ as a formal leader and not focussed enough on sense-making? Could the resilient questioning put forth in the Margolis and Stoltz article have changed the outcome of the situation? With these thoughts in mind, answer the following questions: 1. How could the resilience questioning put forth in the Margolis and Stoltz article have changed the outcome of the situation? 2. Based on your examination of the Peak Learning web site and the pa- rameters of its Adversity Quotient Profile, what adjustments would you have had to make in order to deal with this situation if you were the CE? Discussion Question Answer 1 Resilience Questioning Margolis and Stoltz give a framework designed to shift the mindset from cause-oriented thinking, which is inherently oriented backwards, to response-oriented thinking, oriented forward. Their framework builds on the four pillars of control, impact, breadth and duration, in the context of which they demand to ask open questions in a personal way that are...
