A DEFINITION OF CRITICAL THINKING

A course requires 'Critical Thinking' if:

1) It asks questions that require a chain of reasoning and/or for which there is not one right answer but multiple criteria for judging answers;
2) It poses non-routine problems and requires explicit analysis and evaluation of the answers against criteria appropriate to the field.
