Videos: Signature Course Advisory Comittee Members on Critical Thinking

Students entering college are expected to think critically, understand non-linear assignments, and grapple with questions that may not have answers. Too often, however, first-year students have not been taught to think in these ways, and thus struggle to acclimate to their new learning environment. The Signature Courses were designed to address these issues and to turn high school students into successful college scholars. The first in a series featuring the Signature Course Essential Elements, the following videos highlight Signature Course faculty members discussing how they teach critical thinking in their courses.
