TRIO 2100 - Critical Thinking and Reading


Credit Hours: 3

This course exposes students to in-depth readings and well-chosen oppositional readings to help them develop intellectually and ethically by recognizing competing arguments and making a reasoned, context-appropriate commitment to one position. Some of the oppositional readings include artists, statements, criticisms, biographies, web-based essays, peer-reviewed journal articles, and book chapters. These authentic authorial voices engage students in thinking through competing perspectives on an issue. Students will practice critical thinking and reading in order to: reconsider and revise views where honest reflection suggests that change is warranted and face their own biases, prejudices, stereotypes, or egocentric tendencies. When students believe that their efforts are contributing significantly to their learning, learning becomes its own motivation.
