"University is a time for growth in thinking. As a university student, you’re expected to engage with the material you encounter, not simply learn facts. Not only will you have to evaluate the provenance of what you study, but you’ll also have to think critically about its meaning and implications. How successfully you achieve this will reflect your deeper thinking and understanding. This chapter identifies concepts and methods (and fallacies to watch out for) that will help you to develop these analytical approaches that support critical thinking."

A bitesize academic skills video examining the key characteristics of academic argument and its structure before considering higher order critical thinking skills and the vocabulary associated with them that you can use to articulate your critical method to assessors.
This form offers prompts for analysing academic arguments, use it to dissect, describe and assess the effectiveness of academic propositions made by others or apply it to your own academic writing as a means of self-assessing your work as you draft your assignment.
Use this form to evaluate an argument once you have analysed it. Whereas an analytical approach will enable you to identify the component parts of an author's argument, an evaluative approach will enable you to critically appraise and assess the clarity of the overall argument itself and importantly, the author's presentation of it.
Use this form to formulate, analyse and evaluate your own argument. Use the prompts to effectively develop your own ideas, supporting arguments and collate your evidence. Your summaries, analysis and thoughts regarding your argument can later be copied, pasted and edited into your assignment or thesis.
